Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat volunteer unit of the Russian National Guard, denied reports from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense about wiretapping his headquarters. He called the recordings "AI and LGBT work."

"Today, I was horrified to learn that, it turns out, my meetings were wiretapped for two months by Ichkerian and Ukrainian LGBT agents. You deserve an A for your artificial intelligence work. And, of course, for doing your LGBT work. My only question is: If you wiretapped me for two months, why haven't you done anything about my work? You are the greatest storytellers. But you won't win the war with AI and fairy tales. We'll get every one of you," said Apti Alaudinov.

Earlier, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated that it had been eavesdropping on the Akhmat commando commando for two months thanks to a device installed in a meeting room by a former member of the commando unit. Audio recordings allegedly featuring Alaudinov's voice were posted on the GUR website. He harshly criticized Russian paratroopers, who, he said, "don't fight anywhere." Furthermore, Alaudinov admitted that "most of our artillery and tank crews don't even know how to fire properly."

According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, thanks to the information obtained and the special operation in the Sumy sector, 41 Akhmat fighters were killed, 87 were wounded, and over 100 went missing.
