Apti Alaudinov
Apti Alaudinov did not specify exactly how many Chechen soldiers voluntarily surrendered, however, he was indignant at the request of his soldiers to organize their exchange.
The commander of "Akhmat", Russian General Apti Alaudinov, said that he does not plan to save the Chechens who voluntarily surrendered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He said this in his video message.
This is how he responded to the request of his native Kadirov residents, who are asking for their release from captivity.
"Representatives of the Ukrainian special services give prisoners the opportunity to call their relatives so that they can communicate with their loved ones. There is a direct connection: "Tell Apta Alaudinov, he knows how to exchange us." Hearing these words, I became angry. Let's be honest: the Chechens have long considered being captured as the greatest shame," said the Russian general.
He also emphasized that he does not respect these fighters at all.
“I don't think you deserve to even live. Because I wonder how you are going to live after you raised your paws and surrendered as captive girls, how are you going to live at all," the Russian commander was indignant.
At the same time, he did not specify exactly how many Chechen soldiers voluntarily surrendered.
Later, it became known that Ukraine's operation in Kurshchyna replenished the exchange fund with a record number of prisoners.
