Kadyrov Ready to Ensure Wheat Supply to Syria Amid Uncertainty

Chechnya's Kremlin-backed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has thrown his hat in the ring to ensure Syria's wheat needs are met if Russian supply lines face disruption due to governmental changes in Syria.

The potential halt in Russian wheat shipments, following two diverted vessels meant for Syria, sparked concerns over Syria's food security, but Kadyrov asserted that state-backed shipments are continuing as planned.

Positioning himself as a crucial player, Kadyrov noted his readiness to leverage a charitable fund in his father's name to aid Syria, a country heavily dependent on Russia for wheat amid tightening Western sanctions.
