Putin's Chechen warlord ally plans to bolster Russia's forces in Ukraine with 4 new battalions

Ramzan Kadyrov said on Sunday that he would send more troops to help the Russians.

In a Telegram post, Kadyrov stated that four battalions would be formed to help Russia.

Kadyrov wrote that the military contingent would include only Chechens. The troops of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are in need of replenishment.

The four battalions would be from the Chechen Republic.

Kadyrov wrote that the youth of the region wanted to form new battalions with fully equipped personnel.

The number of people wishing to defend the Motherland is growing rapidly, and our task is to give them an opportunity to do so.

In the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Kadyrov claimed to have fought. Ukrainian officials say Kadyrov and Chechen fighters plotted to kill the president.

Kadyrov said in March that he wanted to keep fighting despite his troops sustaining heavy casualties.

Kadyrov admits that Russia is finding it difficult to sustain its onslaught on Ukraine.

In light of the devastating losses of its junior officers and generals, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia has been less than anticipated.

Russia has lost over 30,000 troops in the war, according to estimates by the Ukrainian government. Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims that Russia has lost at least 200 aircraft in the war.

In what appeared to be a deliberate escalation of the conflict meant to coincide with the G7 meeting, Russia launched a massive missile attack onUkraine this week. A missile strike on a Ukrainian shopping mall with over a thousand people inside happened after the assault.
