Kadyrov and Alaudinov respond to reports about Chechen fighters killed near Lisichansk
The information about the mass deaths of Chechen law enforcers near Lisichansk is false, states Ramzan Kadyrov. Earlier, the leader of Chechnya had to acknowledge the information about 23 fighters perished in the Kherson Region. Apti Alaudinov, an aide to the leader of Chechnya, also assures that “everything is fine” with the soldiers of the “Akhmat” special forces in Ukraine.
The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that on October 27, Ramzan Kadyrov acknowledged that 23 Chechen fighters were killed “overnight” in the Kherson Region and that other 58 fighters were wounded.
Ramzan Kadyrov called the information posted in telegram channels and reporting about the mass deaths of Chechen fighters near Lisichansk a “gossip.”
The leader of Chechnya was also supported by Apti Alaudinov, the aide to the leader of Chechnya, the commander of the “Akhmat” special forces.
“Everything is fine with us. We are moving forward,” reported the aide to the leader of Chechnya as quoted by the “Chechnya Segodnya” (Chechnya Today) news agency.
Let us remind you that until October 27, the authorities of Chechnya officially recognized the deaths in Ukraine of only 29 residents of the republic.
By November 8, the authorities confirmed the information about at least 900 residents of the regions of Southern Russia perished in Ukraine, and 53 residents of Chechnya are listed as perished in the special military operation.
It should be noted that on October 27, when Ramzan Kadyrov acknowledged the information about 23 perished Chechen fighters, he again criticized Russian Defence Ministry General Alexander Lapin.
Political analyst Aleksei Malashenko believes that the leader of Chechnya wants to hold the commander of the Russian army responsible for the deaths of fighters, including those from Ramzan Kadyrov’s military detachments. “The death toll of more than 20 fighters at once is too much for Chechnya. That fact needs to be acknowledged and it should be explained why that happened and who is to blame. And Ramzan Kadyrov is shifting the blame on someone else,” the political analyst shares his opinion.
