Kadyrov’s troops claim they ‘missed’ Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast

Deployed in Kursk Oblast, Russia’s National Guard unit Akhmat “missed” advancing Ukrainian troops and never engaged in combat, Apti Alaudinov, Akhmat’s commander, claimed on Aug. 8.

Akhmat is staffed with Chechen fighters under personal command of Chechen ruler Ramzan Kadyrov.

Alaudinov stated that Ukrainian forces allegedly “simply passed by” Chechen-held positions without engaging in a fight.

Russian media outlet The Insider notes that Russian “war correspondent” Yuri Kotenok previously reported a different story. He claimed that Akhmat forces were actually deployed in the areas of Kursk Oblast where active combat was taking place.

“Telegram channel VChK-OGPU reported that the Kadyrovites special forces stationed in the Korenivsky district ‘dispersed’ after the first strikes by Ukrainian forces—that is, they fled,” the report reads.

    • You would think the TikToks would have released a video showing them fighting herocially to the last man. 😂
