Kadyrov calls on the released Chechen fighters to return to fight on the front lines

The President of the Russian Republic of Chechnya called on Chechen fighters who were released from captivity to return to the front lines to continue fighting.

Kadyrov said in a statement posted on his channel on “Telegram”: “I believe that the Chechen soldier should not have any reason to fall into captivity. The excuses may be different, but whatever the case, the soldier must prove that he has no other choice, and he needs Prove it by going back to the front lines."

He urged the fighters to prove that they did not avoid combat and did not look for an opportunity to lay down their arms and escape bullets.

He added, "An hour before their capture, they communicated on the radio and reported that they were running out of ammunition. But every warrior must not shoot indiscriminately, he must think of every shot, and take care of every bullet."

It should be noted that 5 Chechen soldiers from the "Sever-Akhmat" regiment of the Russian Defense Ministry were released from captivity on April 15 in a prisoner exchange deal.
