“Kadyrov has done everything to rebuild the republic, everything is thanks to him,” said a former member of one of Kadyrov’s militias in an interview in Grozny over the weekend. “But if you’ve read anything of Caucasus history, you’ll know this is unlikely to be the end.

He blamed gossiping women for spreading rumours about the marriage using WhatsApp and called on men to ensure their female family members did not spend time using the app.

“Family honour is the most important thing. Do not write such things. Men, take your women out of WhatsApp.”

that doesn't answer the question of why they should support the action? it might explain why Russia wants to annex (if true) but not why the other two countries should allow it.
