A new group of fighters flew from Chechnya to the SVO zone.
Ramzan Kadyrov reported the dispatch of a new group of fighters to the military operation zone in Ukraine. Several fighters arrived from other regions, and for some, this is not their first contract, he noted.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot," Chechen authorities regularly report the dispatch of groups of fighters from the republic to the military operation zone in Ukraine. 61,221 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to participate in the military operation in Ukraine, including 22,321 volunteers. Of these, 13,000 are currently in the combat zone, Ramzan Kadyrov reported on August 5.
The total number of security forces sent from Chechnya does not include those who have withdrawn from the combat zone due to barracks, leave, or rotation. Since November 2022, Kadyrov has accompanied each report of the deployment of a new group with a call for volunteers to contact the Grozny mayor's office and sign up. He also regularly emphasizes that the flow of volunteers is not decreasing and there are no problems recruiting them. He also regularly reports that many of the volunteers are residents of other regions of Russia.
Another group of fighters departed on a special flight to the SVO zone. The flight departed from Grozny airport. "For some of them, this is already their second, or even third, deployment to the SVO zone. The volunteers include not only residents of the Chechen Republic, but also representatives of other regions of Russia," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov announced on his Telegram channel on November 23.
Each of the fighters completed an accelerated combat training course at the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes, he added.
One of the fighters said he was from the Krasnodar Territory and was traveling to the SVO zone for the third time. Another stated that this was his second contract, having previously served in the Wagner PMC, without specifying which region he was from, according to a video attached to the publication.
The Russian Special Forces University is a training center in Gudermes, organized by Ramzan Kadyrov, where volunteers are trained for deployment to war zones and where the Akhmat special forces unit is based. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report titled "What They Teach at the Putin Special Forces University in Chechnya".
