In recent weeks, reports have emerged from Russia suggesting a dramatic shift in allegiances involving Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechen forces.
Backstabbed Russian Forces
Military bloggers and analysts are abuzz with claims that Kadyrov’s troops have betrayed Russia and struck a covert agreement with Ukraine, raising serious questions about the loyalty and actions of these units, according to Ziare.
According to military bloggers known for their "Z" commentary, Kadyrov's Akhmat unit allegedly backstabbed Russian forces by deliberately avoiding confrontation with Ukrainian troops during an offensive in the Kursk region.
A former Wagner mercenary, who goes by the name Alex Parker, has shared on his Telegram page that Kadyrov's forces were well-informed about the Ukrainian advance and intentionally allowed them to proceed.
The deal was reportedly facilitated through an intermediary, Hussein Djambetov, a former Ukrainian soldier who later returned to Chechnya.
Units Reportedly Fleeing the Border
Russian military propagandists have expressed outrage, accusing Kadyrov of betraying Russia by orchestrating a secret non-aggression pact with Ukraine.
This alleged treachery has fueled claims that Kadyrov’s men abandoned their positions and avoided combat rather than defending the Russian frontier.
Recent Russian media reports have further criticized Kadyrov's units for reportedly fleeing from the border and failing to engage in the ongoing conflict, abandoning their strategic posts.
This situation has sparked heated discussions and raised concerns about the reliability of Kadyrov’s forces amid the larger backdrop of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
