A thousand volunteers from Chechnya were sent to Ukraine

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that a thousand volunteers were leaving the republic to participate in the operation to ‘de-nazify’ Ukraine.

“The adviser to the head of the Chechen Republic on the power bloc, my dear brother Apty Alaudinov, at the head of a thousand volunteers from the Chechen Republic, is sent to participate in a special operation to ‘de-nazify’ and demilitarise Ukraine,” Kadyrov said in his Telegram channel.

“He is an excellent coordinator of actions; he knows how to make the right decisions in a difficult combat situation. And I am absolutely sure that he will fulfil every order without loss and with the maximum result,” Kadyrov assured.

Georgia “has not considered and is not considering” the construction of a road to Chechnya

Georgia has never considered and is not considering the construction of a road connecting the country with Russian Chechnya, the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia said in a statement in response to information from a number of Georgian media.

“Georgia has never considered and is not considering the construction of any road connecting Georgia with Chechnya. The issue of road construction has never been on the agenda of the Georgian side, therefore, any information in connection with it is incorrect. In order to avoid misleading the population of Georgia, we ask the Georgian media, along with the dissemination of information, to provide the population with a position that has been verified with the Georgian side,” the statement says.

Kadyrov threatened Ukrainian “Nazis” with measures if they refuse to lay down their arms

The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, threatened Ukrainian nationalists with punitive measures if they did not voluntarily lay down their arms. The Chechen leader published his appeal in his Telegram channel.

“I want to appeal to all the Nazis and shaitans: you can bark from your hiding places as much as you like, you are neither physically nor morally capable of more. One by one, the areas are cleared, and soon it will reach you. Either you voluntarily lay down your arms and accept the punishment you deserve, or we will knock it out of your hands and take punitive measures ourselves,” he said.

He also noted that Chechen fighters, together with the military of Russia and the DPR, work in the combat zone openly, smoothly, and efficiently.

“The experience accumulated over the years in the most complex special operations is evident. Well, as for the members of nationalist formations, everything is more than clear. If there are no civilians at hand, they act according to a proven scheme approved by the top military leadership of Ukraine - running without looking back. Fortunately for us, this tactic has not given the expected result lately,” Kadyrov concluded.
