Kadyrovites in the war against Ukraine/Channel 24 collage
Several thousand fighters from the Chechen Republic are participating in a full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.
In total, the Main Intelligence Directorate published a list of approximately 2.5 thousand Kadyrovites. They began to enter the territory of Ukraine in the first days of the big offensive.
It turned out that the special unit of the Russian Guard from Chechnya, which reports to Ramzan Kadyrov, was positioned by the aggressor country as the most cruel detachment. However, 80 days of the war in Ukraine showed that the Kadyrovites are only capable of intimidation and looting.
Their main task was to intimidate and genocide Ukrainians, intelligence said.
Yes, these militants are mainly in the second echelon of the offensive. It is known that they were engaged in searches of dwellings, mocked hostages and civilians. They also looted and destroyed the houses of Ukrainians. They also stole from “their own”.
They were afraid of losses
However, after the Russian troops began to suffer the first large-scale losses, the Kadyrovites were ordered to stop the retreating units of the invaders. They are revealing to shoot those who refused to fight.
Recently, they were based in the Luhansk and Mariupol directions. There they also continued to rob and shoot videos about their exploits for TikTok.
Losses among the Kadyrovites
Experts have repeatedly said that Russian propaganda has created a fable about “strong and invincible” Kadyrovites. Brave Ukrainian soldiers have successfully debunked this myth – Kadyrov's henchmen in battles are not as brave as in their tektoks.
Therefore, despite the feigned training, fighting spirit and equipment of Kadyrov's tiktokers, even outside the zone of active hostilities, out of 2 ,5 thousand mercenaries:
- about 100 were killed;
- another 300 were injured;
- more than 60 fled Ukraine, leaving their weapons and ammunition.< /li>
So their victories ended on the terror of the civilian population. Earlier it was also reported that the special forces unit suffered significant losses when faced with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Also, our troops eliminated one of the closest associates of Ramzan Kadyrov near Bucha. It is not surprising that they began to flee Ukraine.
Attention! The military intelligence of Ukraine published a list of militants from the Chechen Republic who participated in the Russian aggression in March-May 2022 – it can be downloaded in MS format Word.
For crimes against the civilian population of Ukraine, all war criminals will be held accountable, the department reminded.
