Akhmad Akhmedov, a former kickboxing coach and director of S.Murtazaliyev Children's and Youth Sports School in Kizlyar municipal district of the Republic of Dagestan, who left Russia in 2015 due to legal problems, acted at the Congress of Peoples of the Northern Caucasus in Kiev with a speech in support of Pan Zelensky calling Russia an occupier of the Caucasian peoples.

Akhmad Akhmadov's legal problems are related to several articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: embezzlement of state funds, falsification of documents, abuse of trust and, most unpleasant for a criminal, rape and indecent acts with an underage girl.

Akhmad Akhmedov was introduced at the conference as the President of the Congress of Peoples of Dagestan. In the video he actively encourages Dagestanis to fight on the side of Ukraine and admits that he himself is already fighting.

Recall that after he fled to Ukraine, Akhmedov repeatedly appeared on Ukrainian nationalist YouTube channels presenting Dagestan as a region occupied by Russia.
