Vladimir Putin's Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has threatened to attack NATO member Poland.
Chechnya's ruthless leader is a longtime and fervent ally of Vladimir Putin and has deployed troops to support the Russian tyrant and his brutal war in Ukraine.
The brute has issued a chilling threat to Warsaw, telling the country Russia can "show what we are capable of in six seconds".
It comes in response to Poland's ongoing support of neighbouring Ukraine after lawmakers called for Russian oil and gas imports to be axed.
Kadyrov, 45, the self-dubbed "attack dog" for tyrant Putin, said Ukraine is "done" before turning his sights on Poland, the Daily Telegraph reports.
He said: "What is Poland trying to achieve? Once Ukraine is done, we can show you what we’re capable of in six seconds if there is an order."
It comes amid reports that the notorious leader could seize on the chaos of political dissent in the Kremlin to grab power, according to a Federal Security Service (FSB) agent.
The agent also indicated that losing the "Battle for Donbas" would add to instability in Russia and could lead to a coup or even further territorial loss.
The Kremlin has launched its latest attack in the eastern territories of Ukraine with Vladimir Putin battling to take control of the entire Donbas region.
But Ukraine continues to put up fierce resistance and is currently slowing down Russian troops as they advance from the east.
In a letter to a Russian human rights campaigner Vladimir Osechkin, the agent predicted that Putin's army will fail in achieving its objectives in Donbas.
The Chechens have a reputation for brutality and have faced repeated accusations of committing war crimes.
The war in Ukraine has presented Kadyrov with a perfect opportunity to prove both his loyalty and ongoing usefulness to Putin.
The Chechen leader owes his position and power to the Kremlin, which bankrolls his regime.
In exchange for ensuring stability in Chechnya, Kadyrov receives huge subsidies from Russia's federal budget.
However, in recent years a decline in violence and insecurity in the region has led some inside Putin's administration to question whether Moscow should be sending the Chechen strongman so much money.
Kadyrov has proved a useful Kremlin tool in eliminating internal political dissent in Russia over the years.
Chechen forces are suspected to be involved in the assassination of the leading opposition figure, Boris Nemstov.
His commander in Mariupol Ruslan Geremeyev is believed to have organised the cold blooded shooting of the opposition leader right by the Kremlin walls in 2015.
Geremeyev was injured in late March while fighting Ukrainian forces in Mariupol.
