Kadyrov reported on the new dispatch of combatants to the front.
Another group of volunteers has been sent from Grozny to the combat zone after training at the Russian Special Forces University, Ramzan Kadyrov reported.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Chechen authorities regularly report sending groups of fighters from the republic to the military operation zone in Ukraine. The head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, last reported this on January 22. 67,440 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to participate in the military operation in Ukraine, including 23,774 volunteers, while 14,000 fighters are currently in the combat zone, the head of the republic's government, Magomed Daudov, reported on January 12.
The data on the total number of security forces sent from Chechnya does not include those who have withdrawn from the combat zone due to barracks, leave, or rotation.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 on the deployment of a new group with a call for volunteers to contact the Grozny mayor's office and sign up, regularly emphasizing that the flow of volunteers is not decreasing and there are no problems recruiting them. He also regularly reports that many volunteers are residents of other regions of Russia.
Ramzan Kadyrov announced the dispatch of another group of troops from Grozny Airport to the combat zone in Ukraine this afternoon, publishing a video filmed at the airfield.
Kadyrov emphasized that this time a "large" group of volunteers is being sent to the front, including residents of Chechnya and people from other regions. "For some of them, this is already their second, third, or even fourth deployment to the SVO zone," he wrote.
The recording, in which the head of the Chechen government gives instructions to the fighters at the airfield, was filmed at night. Above the lined-up combatants, in addition to the Akhmat and Russian tricolor flags, the USSR flag is visible.
“This isn't my first contract here, in the Akhmat unit. Every time I train at the Russian Special Forces University—the conditions are excellent, the instructors are competent,” one of the combatants said on camera.
Another fighter pointedly emphasized the unit's international character in his commentary. “We want to defend our truth and win in any situation,” he said in the video.
The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that at the end of January, Kadyrov spoke out against negotiations with Ukraine, declaring that he believed it was right to continue the special military operation "until the end." On February 5, he reported that 20 Chechen natives had been returned from Ukrainian captivity, and journalists discovered a convicted child sexual abuser and a former official among the released Akhmatovites.
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 are based. The "Caucasian Knot" prepared a report, "What is taught at Putin's Special Forces University in Chechnya."
