The Vostok-Ahmad Battalion of the Russian Defense Ministry foiled an attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to launch an offensive on the Zaporizhzhia front line. Information about this was published by the leader of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov on his Telegram channel.
According to the Chechen leader, the soldiers of the battalion destroyed two Ukrainian tanks and an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV).
“The mortars covered the Ukronat infantry so effectively that they completely discouraged attacking our positions,” he wrote.
Kadyrov also added that the Chechen military “with clear and coordinated actions did not give the slightest chance to an offensive by Ukrainian gangs”.
“The result of this operation is the destruction of armored vehicles, losses among the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and many trophies,” the Chechen leader stressed.
Earlier on Saturday, Kadyrov expressed the opinion that the Russian army would only benefit if Kiev decided to launch a counteroffensive by Ukrainian troops. He explained this by the fact that the fighters of the RF Armed Forces would be able to capture a large number of captured weapons.
