One of Vladimir Putin's cronies has made a chilling threat to the West and brazenly called upon people across Europe to rise up against their governments.
Ramzan Kadyrov is the infamous leader of the Chechnya region and ranted against the West's opposition to Russia's 'special operation' - a cover term for the war - in Ukraine.
Only Russia and its allies claim that the country's actions in the sovereign state of Ukraine are justified, as callous acts of indiscriminate bombardment have seen thousands of people killed and large parts of cities completely destroyed, forcing millions to flee their homes.
