Kadyrov asserted that these soldiers all have experience in battles between Russian forces and Ukraine, have undergone training with the best Russian special forces instructors, are equipped with modern weapons and the best equipment, and "have high fighting spirit and great motivation to achieve results".

More than 26,000 Chechen soldiers have been deployed to Ukraine since fighting broke out in February 2022, including 12,000 volunteers.

Chechen units under Mr. Kadyrov have participated in many Russian campaigns in Ukraine, including attacks on Kiev, Mariupol and Bakhmut.

Chechnya's Akhmat special forces recently received and trained several former members of the Wagner private military corporation. Kadyrov expressed hope that the Wagner veterans "will fully demonstrate their reputation in the upcoming battles".
