Mobilization cancellation in Chechnya is reaction to mothers' protest in Grozny

On the following day after the attempt of Chechen women to oppose mobilization, Ramzan Kadyrov urged mothers to remain calm. The pro-government publics have circulated a video, in which one Chechen woman supports sending fighters to Ukraine. Social media users have criticized such statements.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 21, Kadyrov confirmed that "15-20 women came out to protest against mobilization" in Grozny. On September 22, he announced that there would be no partial mobilization in Chechnya, since the conscription plan was exceeded by 254% here. According to Kadyrov, there is a reserve of thousands of volunteers in the republic.

Kadyrov also said that in Chechnya there is not a single refusal to participate in the special operation.

However, Instagram users were outraged by Kadyrov's words. "There is not a single Chechen who is ready to go to a foreign country," the user __madonna_89 has written.

"It's a lie; 95% of Chechens don't want to (participate in a special operation)," the user serikberikovmarat has stated.

The user lbanec_0795 has written that "only the poor go to fight".

Users have also criticized the mothers who support sending their sons to Ukraine.
