UK Intelligence tells how Chechen leader Kadyrov proves his loyalty to Putin
Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen leader, is trying to prove his loyalty to Russian President Vladimir Putin by actively promoting the activities of his units in the war against Ukraine.
Source: the UK MoD Intelligence review dated 15 August on Twitter, as European Pravda reports
Details: The intelligence service recalled that on 10 August, Kadyrov praised the efforts of the Vostok battalion, formed of Chechens, in a heavy battle in the Orikhiv area in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Officially, Vostok is subordinated to the 42nd Motorised Rifle Division of the Southern Military District, which is active in the area of the village of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
The Chechen troops make up a relatively small but noticeable component of Russian forces in Ukraine, the ministry said.
Quote: "Kadyrov likely heavily promotes his units’ roles partially to burnish his credentials as a Putin loyalist."
Background:
- UK Intelligence discussed the role of the fight for bridgeheads on the left bank near Kherson.
- In addition, the 13 August review reported on the funding problems of the Wagner Group.
