“I didn’t even have time to shoot”: Ukrainian military spoke about Chechen fighters in the NVO

About the story of one soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who was captured by military personnel from Chechnya, told on Thursday, March 23, in his Telegram channel, the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. The man turned out to be the only survivor of the entire detachment, designed to hold the positions of the Ukrainian army in the Belogorovka area. The head of Chechnya stressed that, as is customary in the Akhmat special forces, the detention took place “quickly and without hesitation.” “As a result, the enemy failed to defend the bridgeheads,” he stressed.

The message is accompanied by a video in which a prisoner from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who introduced himself as Yaroslav Fedorov, answers questions from the deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the RF Armed Forces, commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apty Alaudinov. The Ukrainian spoke about the shortcomings of military training. He was drafted back in March 2022, but most of the time he was engaged in the protection of the military registration and enlistment office. He was on the front line three days ago, and his unit was already defeated on the fourth, and, as the man said, “didn’t even have time to shoot,” adding that the attackers threw grenades at them. In the video, a captured Ukrainian is covered in bandages and bandages. Alaudinov, commenting on his appearance, notes that the man receives all the necessary medical care.

“In general, the story of Yaroslav’s call to the front does not differ from hundreds of others, except that the details differ,” Kadyrov stressed. – Throwing untrained soldiers into the inferno – this is about the Ukrainian leadership. Unlike his comrades, our newly minted prisoner escaped with injuries and psychological trauma.

The head of Chechnya added that while the Kiev General Staff is thinking about how to increase the effectiveness of their soldiers, the Akhmat special forces continue “its victorious march through enemy positions.” Kadyrov is confident that this will always be the case, right up to the bitter end. In conclusion, he noted that everyone expects more positive news from Apta Alaudinov.
