“More than 600 soldiers in full gear and with a great desire to clear the lands of the DPR and LPR, as well as all of Ukraine, from bandits, gathered at the Grozny International Airport named after the Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.

Kadyrov noted that among the volunteers are not only Chechen security officials and residents of the republic, but also caring citizens from other regions of Russia.

"All of them are united by one goal - to quickly put an end to gangs in Ukraine and to call to account the terrorists who have kept the population of the peaceful Donbass in fear for 8 years," the head of Chechnya added.

Earlier, Kadyrov announced the capture of the Zarya plant, as well as the settlements of Yuzhny and Voevodovka, and a number of villages in the Luhansk People's Republic.
