“This settlement was of great strategic importance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since from here the Ukrainian Nazis had the opportunity to break into Severodonetsk and divert the forces of Russian troops from the Azot plant.
But it was not there.
The village has been cleared of nationalists, mines and “secrets,” he wrote on Telegram.
Kadyrov thanked Apty Alaudinov, assistant to the head of Chechnya for the power bloc, and the personnel of the Chechen special forces.
He also expressed gratitude to the second corps of the People's Militia of the LPR for "high-quality and productive work."
On June 18, Kadyrov announced that the Akhmat special forces units, together with the second corps of the People's Militia of the LPR, had liberated the village of Metelkino.
According to him, the village was an important strategic point for the Ukrainian military, as at least six units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine defended it.
