According to Kadyrov, the volunteers underwent a course of accelerated tactical and fire training.

He also wished those who went to Ukraine successful completion of the tasks set by the leadership and a speedy return home.

“May their courage, bravery and heroism bring victory to Russia and Donbass,” Kadyrov concluded.
