Speaking on a late-night talk show on Russian television on April 7, Chechen Republic head Ramzan Kadyrov reportedly argued that there was no need to deploy bureaucrats, police, and Federal Security Service (FSB) personnel to Chechnya from elsewhere in Russia. He alleged that the 900 Interior Ministry personnel sent to serve in Chechnya simply "sit around in local police departments and never venture outside."
Meeting on March 12 with First Deputy Prime Minister Magomed Daudov and Interior Minister Ruslan Alkhanov, Kadyrov announced that he has asked the federal authorities to stop deploying police to Chechnya from elsewhere in Russia.
Kadyrov said that while such additional manpower was needed at the start of the counterterrorism operation in Chechnya, today the Russian Interior Ministry and FSB forces permanently stationed in Chechnya, together with the Chechen police, are capable of stamping out the last remaining insurgents.
