Kadyrov urged not to count on the end of the "SVO" following the negotiations
There is no need to relax and wait for the start of negotiations and the end of the "special operation." This message was given by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, at a meeting with the leadership of the republic's security agencies.
 
"On the contrary, it is necessary to further strengthen the training of fighters in all areas so that their skills are even better," Kadyrov urged.
 
According to the head of the region, "new technologies that no one else has must be used, no matter how much it costs." He also expressed confidence in the victory of the Russian side.
 
The meeting was dedicated to the effectiveness of the work of Chechen units in the "SVO" zone. Kadyrov awarded ten commanders and employees of the security agencies with state awards.
 
Currently, negotiations between the delegations of the Russian Federation and the United States are taking place in Saudi Arabia. The issue is the settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict.
