A group of fighters was sent from Chechnya to the SVO zone.

Another group of fighters trained at the Russian Special Forces University has departed from Grozny for the combat zone.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Chechen authorities regularly report sending groups of fighters from the republic to the combat zone in Ukraine. Ramzan Kadyrov published the most recent such report on March 4. Chechnya has sent 70,520 fighters to participate in the military operation in Ukraine, including 24,500 volunteers, while 14,000 fighters are currently in the combat zone, Magomed Daudov, head of the republic's government, announced on March 25.

The data on the total number of security forces sent from Chechnya does not include soldiers who have left the republic, are in barracks, are on leave, or have left the combat zone as part of rotation. Since November 2022, Kadyrov has accompanied each report of the dispatch of another group with a call to contact the Grozny mayor's office and sign up as a volunteer, and regularly emphasizes that the flow of volunteers is not decreasing and there are no problems with their recruitment. He also regularly reports that many residents of other regions of Russia are among the volunteers.

Another group of fighters has departed from Grozny International Airport for the SVO zone, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov reported this morning. According to him, each of the volunteers underwent extensive training at the Russian Special Forces University named after Russian President Vladimir Putin.

As follows from the video attached to the publication, Chechen Prime Minister Magomed Daudov, speaking to the fighters, noted that many of them were not deployed to combat zones for the first time.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that in late January, Kadyrov spoke out against negotiations with Ukraine, stating that he believed it was right to continue the special military operation "to 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 has prepared a report titled "What They Teach at the Putin Special Forces University in Chechnya".
