The generosity of Vladimir Putin! The Kremlin gave a mega plant in Ukraine to Ramzan Kadyrov

Moscow allowed the friendly pro-Russia leader of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and his clan to loot the "Ilych" metallurgical plant; in Mariupol, formerly owned by Rinat Akhmetov, reports the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal.

"Ilyich” was taken under control by people close to Ramzan Kadyrov. Among them is Ruslan Geremeev.

Ruslan and the deputy head of Chechnya's Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Vahit Geremeev are relatives of Senator Suleyman Geremeev, an ally of Kadyrov. Half of the shares of MMK Ilyich LLC, which now controls the plant, were received by his son, Valid.

It is noted that looting of the plant is in full swing. Trucks with rolled products often leave the territory of the enterprise and are sent to Russia.

In addition, it is added that a production line worth 220 million dollars was dismantled and sent to Russia.

As early as September 2022, a Moscow trading company removed $380,000 worth of steel products from the plant. After that, other companies from Russia regularly sold the remaining coal and other products. In January 2023, a batch of metal products valued at $50,000 was exported to Uzbekistan.

After some time, the share of Valid Korchagin passed to another person, but also related to Ramzan Kadyrov - the head of the Moscow fighting club "Akhmat“ Alash Dadashov.

The Geremeevs, however, continue to manage the plant. "There were a lot of corpses here, everything was mined," Vahit Geremeev said in an interview with the pro-Russian Mariupol media earlier this year, while walking in military uniform through the territory of the enterprise. According to Geremeev, he fell in love with the plant and "almost became a metallurgist”; intends to resume work on it by 2026, but for now wants to protect it from looting.

Alash Dadashov, through another company of his in Mariupol "Technical materials", which owns together with a local resident, former deputy head of the oxygen workshop of "Azovstal" Stanislav Komarovski, sends industrial gases to Russia from the plant.
