“During the filming of a video by Russian propagandists with the participation of a high-ranking Kadyrov commander, there was a verbal skirmish between the Kadyrovites and the Dagestanis. As a result, the parties to the conflict opened fire on each other, one of the invaders was killed. This led to an open confrontation with the use of grenade launchers and grenades. As a result, more than 20 killed and 40 wounded invaders were recorded on both sides. The commander of the Kadyrov unit was punished by being sent to the front lines, ”the General Staff said in a summary for August 15 on its Facebook account.

The Russian authorities did not comment on Kyiv's allegations.
