They did not fight the year: the Kremlin wants the Kadyrov troops instead of "Wagnerivs" - isw

The Kremlin head Vladimir Putin, according to analysts, forced Ramzan Kadyrov to participate Chechen fighters in hostilities in Ukraine more active. The Kremlin can try to exhibit Chechen fighters Ramzan Kadyrov as a new offensive, since Wagner PVC has lost its potential. This was stated by analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW).

The new report of May 31 states that Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to put pressure on Kadyrov to increase the role of Chechens in hostilities in Ukraine. After that, Chechnya chairman remembered that as of May 26, there were 7,000 fighters. Analysts have suggested that Putin had already forced Kadyrov to send his fighters on the offensive in Ukraine.

"The Kremlin can perceive Chechen units as an unused shock force that can restore Russia's ability to maintain simultaneous offensive efforts in several directions," the report reads. However, as experts have suggested, if you consider Kadyrov's words about 7000 fighters, these plans are unlikely to be implemented, since such a small number of people will not be able to become a full replacement for the "Wagner".

The ISW also noted that Kadyrovka did not participate in active fighting for almost a year. For the most part, they acted in the rear as a police. We will remind that on the night against May 31 Kadyrov declared the beginning of the offensive of Chechen fighters in the Donbass. According to him, the Mariinsky direction was transferred to the militants of the special forces "Akhmat", as well as the regiment "North-Ahmat". They command the Major of Pharma Alaudinov.
