Putin ally recommends Russia use low-yield nuclear weapons in Ukraine
Ramzan Kadyrov said he believes 'more drastic measures' should be taken in Ukraine
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov on Saturday urged Moscow to consider deploying low-yield nuclear weapons in Ukraine after Russian forces retreated from the city of Lyman.

In a post shared on Telegram, Kadyrov said he believes "more drastic measures should be taken, right up to the declaration of martial law in the border areas and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons."

Kadyrov is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who appointed him to govern restive Chechnya in 2007.

The comments came after Russia lost its stronghold of Lyman in eastern Ukraine following a massive offensive from Ukraine.
