Another group of volunteers left the Grozny airport for the special military operation zone in Ukraine.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, regularly reports about sending groups of volunteers to Ukraine, including from other regions of Russia. On November 19, the leader of Chechnya stated that the volunteers “had already become the main driving force behind the special military operation.”

On November 15, Magomed Daudov, the chair of the Chechen parliament, announced that since the beginning of the special military operation, more than 20,000 Chechen fighters had taken part in the special operation in Ukraine and that more than 9000 still stay in the special military operation zone.

Another group of volunteers left the Grozny airport for the special military operation zone in Ukraine, the “Grozny-Inform” reports.

Let us remind you that in May, Ruslan Kutaev, the president of the Assembly of Caucasian Nations, reported about cases of forcible dispatch of residents of Chechnya to Ukraine. Ruslan Kutaev has added that if the Chechen residents refuse to participate in the special military operation, they may face pressure. “Those who refuse to go to Ukraine will be pressured in various ways, including dismissal from job, dismissal of all relatives from their jobs, pressure, kidnappings, and threats,” the president of the Assembly of Caucasian Nations listed.
