Kadyrov shared a video of an operational meeting led by Deputy Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic Adam Delimkhanov.

“Unit commanders report the situation in their areas of responsibility.

Each of them characterizes the situation as being under control,” Kadyrov wrote on his personal Telegram channel.

He also said that over the past two days, units from the Chechen Republic intercepted and destroyed three Ukrainian drones.

Kadyrov noted that the polling stations where the referendum is being held are "under the most reliable protection" of Chechen fighters.

Earlier, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video on his Telegram channel showing a downed quadrocopter with the inscription: “Greetings from New York.”
