Kremlin ruler Putin visited Chechnya for the first time since 2011. There he met with volunteers from the Special Forces University who are going to war against Ukraine.
According to Russian media, during the meeting, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said that the fighters are fully equipped and provided with the necessary equipment, but this is not his personal merit, he is "just an infantryman". "We are all infantrymen. We are in the same position," Putin replied.
Kadyrov said that a reserve of several tens of thousands of trained fighters has been formed in Chechnya, ready to go to war against Ukraine on the president's orders. He also showed him a model of the "Putin district" of Grozny.
Putin's trips
Amid the fighting in the Kursk region, Putin went to Azerbaijan. After his departure, the country applied to join BRICS.
Yesterday it became known that he came to Beslan in North Ossetia and told representatives of the "Mothers of Beslan" association about the "enemy from abroad".
"We have a saying: "You wouldn't wish it on your enemy." But our enemy is different. He is not like us. Although he has a head and hands, we know very well that from abroad they tried not only to justify this terrible crime, but also provided the terrorists with all kinds of assistance, moral, political, informational, financial, and military," Putin added.
