Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has asked the US to kidnap the head of Russia\u2019s Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, claiming the move would send a strong message to President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelensky made the remarks on Wednesday, demanding that his Western backers put more \u201cpressure\u201d<\/em> on Russia and arguing that it would help end the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian leader suggested that the US could kidnap Kadyrov to supposedly speed up the negotiations process. Zelensky praised Trump\u2019s action against Venezuela and the kidnapping of the country\u2019s president, Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe whole world can see the result. They did it quickly. Well, let them carry out some kind of operation against Kadyrov\u2026 Maybe then Putin will see this and think about it,\u201d<\/em> Zelensky asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chechen leader was quick to shoot back, accusing Zelensky of trying to disrupt the negotiation process rather than streamline it, while urging him to \u201cman up\u201d<\/em> and take action on his own instead of hiding behind the Americans\u2019 backs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe buffoon suggests the US authorities kidnap me. Mind you, he didn\u2019t even threaten to do it himself, like a man would. He didn\u2019t even attempt to entertain the thought. [Zelensky] cowardly hinted that he wouldn\u2019t mind standing aside and watching from a safe distance,\u201d<\/em> Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US launched a surprise attack on Venezuela over the weekend, bombing the capital city Caracas and staging a special forces raid to capture Maduro and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple was then transferred to New York to face assorted criminal charges, including drug trafficking. Maduro has vehemently denied all the accusations, describing himself as a \u201cprisoner of war.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

US President Donald Trump has openly asserted that Washington will \u201crun\u201d<\/em> Venezuela until an \u201corderly transition\u201d<\/em> is achieved while threatening the interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, with an even \u201cbigger price\u201d<\/em> to pay if she resists Washington\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US has pledged to take control of Venezuelan oil exports, with Trump claiming the country\u2019s interim authorities will \u201cturn over\u201d<\/em> 30 to 50 million barrels of \u201chigh-quality, sanctioned oil\u201d<\/em> to Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Rodriguez has vowed that her country \u201cwill never return to being the colony of another empire,\u201d<\/em> she also signaled openness to \u201ccooperation\u201d<\/em> with Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
