The head of the Russian mercenary Wagner group requested Moscow to permit him at hand over his positions in Bakhmut to Ramzan Kadyrov’s Chechen forces.

The Akhmat battalion refers back to the Chechen fight models beneath the command of strongman Kadyrov, who has dominated Russia’s Muslim-majority republic of Chechnya for the final decade and a half.

On Friday, the Wagner chief threatened to drag out in scathing movies attacking Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov.

Kadyrov on Friday mentioned on Telegram that his fighters have been “ready to advance and occupy the city.”

He praised Wagner models, saying each teams had fought aspect by aspect within the “most difficult” battles of Popasna, Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

In a message earlier on Saturday, Prigozhin thanked Kadyrov for his supply and mentioned Chechen forces would “no doubt” seize Bakhmut.
