Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic, announced the start of an offensive by Russian troops. In his statement, Kadyrov claims that the Chechen units received a new order to redeploy and start active hostilities on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).

According to the instructions received, the task of the fighters of the Chechen units is to liberate a number of settlements. Thus, this region becomes the area of ​​responsibility of the Chechen units.

At the same time, the forces of the special forces "Akhmat" and the regiment "North-Akhmat" were transferred to this region. In addition, other Akhmat units of the Russian Defense Ministry and the Russian Guard, located on other sections of the contact line in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, also received orders to launch an offensive.

Kadyrov noted the difference in approach between the Russian military and their NATO and Ukrainian counterparts:

"Unlike the European and Ukrainian media, which tried to scare us for several months with a fantastic and terrifying offensive, we will not announce anything".

Instead of preliminary threats and statements, the Russian troops, according to Kadyrov, simply went into action:

"Instead, I report: without waiting for the NATO-Ukrainian offensive, the offensive of the Akhmat units began. We are tired of waiting".
