Dear fellow countrymen, brothers and sisters!

For the past three and a half years tragic events were the only subjects of my addresses to all of you. You will understand me, this is not the easiest task. Mass death of people, mainly Chechens, that happened today as a result of the blast of the invaders' puppet regime is a nationwide tragedy. Our loved ones are dying every day - somebody's father, mother or sister...

Even though the leadership of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria does not approve any cooperation with the invaders, we are infinitely sorry to hear about the death of one official or another, who serves in puppet structures and in the so-called Chechen police. For us these losses are victims of the Russian aggressors, without which the Chechens would not have had the reason to be divided. As the President I understand that the majority of those who get jobs at the invaders' puppet structures have only one goal - just to survive. Unfortunately, this is not happening.

Our enemies are doing all they can to kill Chechens with the hand of other Chechens. They are working day and night for this sake. Recall the blast of the buses with so-called Chechen special police (OMON) on board, which happened in the capital, or the incident with draftees in Shatoi District, etc. For Russian leadership, which is striving for Chechnya without Chechens, a good Chechen is a dead Chechen. All these labels like «Maskhadovan» for example, «Wahhabite», «Kadyrovan», «Zavgayevan», etc. have a meaning only as long as by using them they can divide us, oppose us to one another and kill us on behalf of one another.

Dear fellow countrymen!

I am calling you to spare yourselves and those around you. On the territory of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria we are dealing with aggressors, who came to exterminate us as a nation. No one must trust them. Beware of them, do not look at them, despise them. Then the deliverance will come quicker. And it will surely come. Chechen fighters will not stop their fight until the last invader leaves our long-suffered land.

I am addressing to those who because of the most severe ordeals and losses decided to follow the path of self-sacrifice. I understand you, but I cannot support you. Neither your deaths, nor deaths of hundreds and thousands of others will stop our enemies. Only with our endurance and nobleness will we achieve the triumph of victory. The Kremlin is using any pretext to tie Chechens to international terrorism, the Kremlin's own child. Our task is not to follow their lead.

I am expressing deep condolences to the relatives of the victims, as well as to the entire Chechen nation concerning the severe losses that all of us have experienced. May the Most High not deprive us of His mercy!»
