Here’s Russian President Vladimir Putin being greeted by Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov.
If the name sounds familiar, Kadyrov recently posted this video of himself driving a Tesla Cybertruck with a mounted machine gun.
He claimed the vehicle was a gift from Elon Musk, something the billionaire X owner strongly denied.
Shortly afterwards, Putin made an unscheduled visit to Chechnya - his first appearance there in nearly 13 years.
The mainly Muslim republic is part of the Russian Federation, but has a bloody and complicated history.
Fighters from Chechnya have participated on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine, with those in favour of Chechen independence bitterly opposed to those supporting Kadyrov and Putin.
Putin has relied on Kadyrov to keep the territory stable after decades of unrest and has made use of Chechen forces in various key battles.
It’s unclear whether this visit is related to the Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, but Kadyrov announced that “tens of thousands" of reservists were available to fight the Ukrainians.
