Prisoners including relatives of oppositionists are sent to the war with Ukraine from Chechnya

It is reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The correspondence of FSB officials contains a requirement to provide personal data of convicts, in particular: full name, home addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, IP addresses of devices used to enter the “social telecommunications network Internet”.

💬 “Immediately collect and provide us with information about citizens of the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation for their further involvement in the conduct of a special operation on the territory of Ukraine:

a) probationers;
b) sentenced to imprisonment for crimes of small and medium gravity;
c) those sentenced to imprisonment for grave crimes;
d) those convicted of especially grave crimes.

According to Chechen opposition public figures, such actions have two goals.

• Firstly, to replenish the "human resource" of the units that suffered significant losses in battles with Ukrainian defenders.
• Secondly, to suppress any protest moods in Chechnya.

After all, now there is a widespread practice of condemning the relatives of oppositionists. Now they are threatened with forced dispatch to the hottest points of the front. In particular, the brother of the well-known Chechen opposition leader Khasan Khalitov has already been taken to one of the units on the front line. Other relatives of Khalitov were kidnapped and their whereabouts are unknown.
