“Hundreds of brave warriors from different parts of our vast country decided to become part of the Russian liberation army,” he wrote on his Telegram channel. 

According to Kadyrov, the volunteers were previously trained at the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes in tactical shooting, as well as combat in the forest.

He added that the volunteers received all the necessary knowledge and combat skills from the best instructors in Chechnya. 

On April 23, Kadyrov announced that a detachment of volunteers had been sent to Ukraine.
