Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov spoke about battles in Russia's Belgorod region between Chechen and Russian forces with groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Kadyrov later edited his original post where he provided details of operations to cleanse the region of Ukrainian troops.
"The tactical direction is the urban-type settlement of Krasnaya Yaruga. Joint actions of the Buri group of the legendary Akhmat special forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense (…) and units of the Russian Aerospace Forces to annihilate positions of Ukrainian Nazis and their manpower,” Kadyrov's message said.
The politician also showed footage of a T-64 tank and aircraft attacking Ukrainian fortifications in forest plantations and wished the Russian military "good hunting.”
However, the message on Kadyrov's Telegram channel was later edited. The name of the village was deleted - it was only indicated that there were ongoing battles in the Belgorod direction of hostilities.
According to the Russian Defence Ministry, the number of Ukraine's attacks on the Belgorod region of Russia in 2024 was the largest.
