Peskov says Chechnya head Kadyrov does not step down
MOSCOW. Dec 17 (Interfax) - Chechen Republic head Ramzan Kadyrov has not tendered his resignation to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
"There have been no formal submissions of this kind," Peskov told Interfax.
Kadyrov said on Tuesday that he was ready to go to Donbas as a volunteer and would ask the president to accept his resignation.
"I intend to ask the president so he, so to speak, relieves me of this office to enable me to go to Donbas to protect the interest of precisely those citizens who are fighting there today, to make sure that it is these shaitans who get killed and destroyed because they have no honor and no conscience," the Chechen leader said in an interview with the Bez Kupyur (Uncut) program, according to a statement on the website of the NTV channel.
