In his Telegram account, he posted a video that was filmed in Severodonetsk by an assistant to the head of the Chechen Republic, Apta Alaudinov.

“Now it is clear even to the blind that there are no Nazis in the city and all their pseudo-heroic statements are not worth a damn.

They fled the city, friends, went to the industrial zone, where our guys and the LPR fighters are systematically and slowly sending them and foreign mercenaries to Bandera, ”Kadyrov wrote. 

On May 31, Kadyrov announced the completion of the "total cleansing" of Severodonetsk in the Lugansk People's Republic and the transition of the fighters to a thorough random check of individual urban facilities.

The official representative of the People's Militia of the Lugansk People's Republic, Lieutenant Colonel Andriy Marochko, in the RT stream "Letuchka" said that Ukrainian troops destroyed more than 60% of the housing stock of Severodonetsk.
