MOSCOW, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The leader of Russia's Chechnya region, Ramzan Kadyrov, ​said on Thursday that he was ‌opposed to talks on ending the war in ‌Ukraine and that Moscow should fight on. I am against negotiations," ⁠Kadyrov told reporters ‌at the Kremlin, where President Vladimir Putin was meeting the ‍president of the United Arab Emirates. Kadyrov, who calls himself Putin's "foot soldier" is a prominent war ​hawk. His comment reflects a current ‌of opinion among hardliners that Russia is winning the four-year-old war and should keep going, even as U.S. President Donald Trump steps up diplomatic efforts to ⁠end it. The Kremlin says Russia would prefer ‍to achieve ⁠its goals in Ukraine through diplomacy, but that it will do so ⁠by military means if that is not possible.
