The authorities of Chechnya reported the sending of another group of fighters to the special military operation zone.

A new group of fighters has been sent from Grozny airport to the special military operation zone in Ukraine, reported the authorities of Chechnya.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the authorities of Chechnya regularly report on the sending of groups of fighters from the republic to the military operation zone in Ukraine. The last such report was published by the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, on September 16.

A new group of fighters, who underwent training at the Russian Special Forces University, has departed from Grozny airport to the special military operation zone. The head of the Chechen government, Magomed Daudov, addressed the fighters with parting words, reported the TV channel "Grozny" on his Instagram page on September 26.

Recall that on September 9, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, reported that more than 76,400 fighters have been sent from the republic to the special military operation zone.

The data on the total number of fighters sent from Chechnya since February 24, 2022, do not account for those who have fallen out of service, are in barracks, on leave, or have left the combat zone as part of rotation. At the same time, regular reports from the Chechen authorities about sending groups of fighters raise doubts that all of them are going to participate in battles voluntarily, users of social networks pointed out.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that volunteers arriving in Chechnya to sign military contracts complained in January 2025 that they were kept locked up for weeks to be sent to the military operation zone instead of local residents who paid to avoid service. According to human rights defenders, coercion to sign contracts is practiced in Chechnya, and security forces may create an 'exchange fund' from incoming volunteers from other regions.
