Kadyrov says he is ready to send his mercenaries "to defend Belgorod"

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said he was waiting for the "go-ahead" to send Chechen units to the Belgorod region. According to him, such a decision "would be a good one". He wrote about it in his Telegram channel.

He noted that he had about 70,000 soldiers on standby.

In total, the number of Chechen fighters in the battalions and regiments of the security and military structures exceeds 70 thousand. That's three armies! All units have been trained at the Russian Special Forces University. They are equipped with the latest technology, trained, equipped with reliable weapons and ready to carry out any order from the commander-in-chief," he said.

Kadyrov said his fighters were capable of "eliminating a bandit group without consequences for civilians and infrastructure.

This kind of training is possessed by Chechen fighters, who already have experience of clearing the Republic from bandit insurgents in forest and urban areas, as well as experience of liberating almost four dozen LNR settlements, including Mariupol, where they went into battle with a larger enemy," Kadyrov wrote.

We would like to point out that fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Russian Freedom Legion are active in Belgorod Region and are fighting pro-Putin forces.
