Summary:
A Ukrainian drone reportedly struck a high-rise building near Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s home in Grozny on November 5, targeting the Grozny-City tower housing regional government offices. In response, Kadyrov condemned the strike as tactically senseless and vowed retaliation, warning of a stern response against Ukraine but denying plans to target civilians. A former Ukrainian official noted that Kadyrov’s threats echo a 2022 plot by Chechen forces to infiltrate Kyiv and target President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, though Zelenskyy is reportedly less alarmed now due to improved security. The official also recalled fears in 2022 of Chechen units attempting to access Zelenskyy’s presidential bunker but said these attempts were thwarted before reaching Kyiv.
