Kadyrov's Chechens are being pulled out of Donbas to fortify Rostov.

Whose side is Kadyrov on? Or is he his own side?

They're on their own side, they're mercs and loyal to money, just like Wagner. Right now, they're taking Putin's money.

However, as soon as Putin's down or out of money, they'll switch sides easily.

Keep in mind that Chechens were at some point at war with Putin as well and Putin won that one. Kadyrov's an ally of Putin at this point.
