Kadyrov reported on the new dispatch of fighters to the front.

Another group of combatants departed from Grozny for the war zone in Ukraine. Before departure, the fighters praised the Russian Special Forces University and thanked Kadyrov.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," Chechen authorities regularly report sending military groups from the republic to the war zone in Ukraine. Ramzan Kadyrov published the most recent such report on April 2. Chechnya has sent 70,520 fighters to fight in Ukraine, including 24,500 volunteers. 14,000 fighters are currently in the combat zone, Chechen Prime Minister Magomed Daudov announced on March 25.

The head of Chechnya reported today on the dispatch of a plane carrying a new group of troops from Grozny to fight in Ukraine. The group includes volunteers who have undergone "enhanced combat training" at the Putin Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes, Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to Kadyrov, following the training, these fighters are ready "to flawlessly carry out their missions in the harshest conditions." He did not specify how the "enhanced" combat training at the RSU differs from the standard training. Kadyrov emphasized that many of the group's members "already have combat experience," but are "eager to fight again."

The group was traditionally seen off at the airport by Chechen Prime Minister Magomed Daudov. Judging by the video recording, Daudov spoke to the fighters on the airfield more emotionally than usual, urging them to "fight this scum." The lined-up fighters held the Russian tricolor, at least two Soviet red flags, and several flags with portraits of Akhmat Kadyrov.

The group's members praised the training on camera, bravado-laden accounts of their experiences, or uttered official statements. "The best instructors, the best medical care. We're hitting [...] very well, they're afraid of Akhmat. They mostly surrender to Akhmat," one of them declared. "We have the best specialists here, the best training, live fire, theory." “I am very grateful to the head of the Chechen Republic for organizing this process,” said another.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that at the end of January, Kadyrov spoke out against negotiations with Ukraine, stating that he considered it right to continue the special military operation "to the end." On February 5, he reported that 20 natives of Chechnya 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.
