Fri 25 January 2022:
A squad of Chechen special forces ‘hunters’ has been sent to Ukraine to detain or assassinate a number of Ukrainian officials, according to the Daily Mail.
Each soldier was reportedly given a special ‘deck of cards’ with Ukrainian officials’ photos and descriptions on them, a Moscow Telegram channel with links to the security establishment reported.
The list is of officials and security officers suspected of ‘crimes’ by the Russian Investigative Committee, the report added.
It came as Ukraine’s president admitted he is ‘target number one’ for Russian assassins in his capital, while his family is ‘the number two goal’ for Putin’s hitmen.
The Chechen squad is thought to be in a Ukrainian forest and was allegedly given an ‘order to kill’ if those on the wanted list could not be detained.
State TV in Chechnya reported that Ramzan Kadyrov, the republic’s leader and a close Putin ally, had visited his forces in Ukraine.
The Chechens are thought to be from the Federal Guard Service’s South battalion, which is situated in Chechnya.
Another close Putin friend, Viktor Zolotov, director of the Federal National Guard Service and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian National Guard Forces, met with Kadyrov yesterday.
