Kadyrov noted that the military sent to Syria "have good training."

The head of Chechnya said that earlier "their service in Syria was positively noted by the local population and authorities."

“Great assistance to the Syrian people who suffered during the hostilities is provided by the Hero of Russia Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov RPF,” he added.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the arrival of about 300 troops from Chechnya to Syria to perform special tasks on the Syrian-Turkish border.
