"Let them come closer": Muslims of Ukraine answer Kadyrov

"Let them come closer, we and the Muslims of Ukraine (in the photo) are already waiting for them," said Ismahilov, former mufti of the Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine Ummah, and now a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is how Said Ismahilov reacted to Kadyrov’s announcement that he is preparing Muslim clerics for the war in Ukraine and that the first group of theologians from the spiritual administration of Muslims was trained at the Russian Special Forces University in Chechnya.

The defender of Ukraine added a photo of fighters against the background of a mosque, indicating the location of the photo as Bakhmut in his post.

Said Ismagilov has been the mufti of the Ummah Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine, a spiritual and theological leader, for 13 years. After the start of the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine, he resigned and went first to the territorial defence, and then to the front. Said Ismagilov is currently serving in the Armed Forces as a driver-marksman and paramedic.
