Chechnya should send volunteers to the zone of the special military operation in Ukraine more frequently, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said. Kadyrov made this announcement after a Ukrainian drone struck the building of the University of Special Forces in Gudermes.
"I urge real men to volunteer to fight to defend our land, our state and our people. We need to show that you can't play around with Chechnya and its people," Ramzan Kadyrov said.
Airplanes with volunteers should be sent to the front lines every day, not just once a week, as is happening now, he added.
On the morning of October 29, Ramzan Kadyrov said that a Ukrainian drone struck the Russian University of Special Forces named after V. V. Putin. He noted that no one was hurt during the attack; the activities of the educational institution were not suspended either.
Kadyrov ordered Chechen commanders serving in the zone of the special military operation not to capture Ukrainian fighters anymore, but to eliminate them immediately.
"Do not take prisoners, annihilate and intensify the fight by 100 percent," Kadyrov said after the drone attack.
The head of the region promised to take retribution to all those guilty of what happened.
The Ukrainian drone strike on Chechnya was the first drone attack confirmed by the regional authorities since the beginning of the special operation.
