Kadyrov Thanks Putin for Supporting Akhmat Ops

Ramzan Kadyrov, the Head of Chechnya, expressed gratitude to President Vladimir Putin for acknowledging the achievements of the Russian special forces unit “Ahmat” during operations in the Kursk region. In a meeting held on March 12, Putin highlighted units excelling in combat tasks, specifically referencing the notable contributions of the “Ahmat” unit. Kadyrov emphasized that this recognition not only affirms the unit’s effective execution of assigned tasks but also underscores their significant role in national security. Army General Valery Gerasimov reported that Russian forces have reclaimed over 1,100 square kilometers, exceeding 86% of the territory previously held by opposing forces, with Ukrainian casualties exceeding 67,000, indicating a critical shift in the conflict dynamics. Kadyrov’s remarks reinforced a commitment to defending the nation, signaling ongoing efforts towards the complete elimination of enemy forces in the Kursk area—a strategic objective essential for stabilizing the region.
