Kadyrov confirms readiness to travel to Donbas, if need be

GROZNY. Jan 4 (Interfax) - Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has said he will fulfill any order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and if need be, is ready to travel to Donbas.

"I never make populist declarations. I repeat once again that if it is necessary for Russia, I will fulfill any order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Putin. And I would advise those whom it concerns, whether it is in Donbas or elsewhere, to take my words very seriously," he said in an interview with Interfax.

That was his response to the request to comment on his statement made last December that he is ready to travel to Donbas as a volunteer.

"I never say what I won't do or what I cannot do," Kadyrov stressed.
