Kadyrov boasts of his sons' participation in hostilities

The children of the head of Chechnya, who visited the zone of the military operation, were also shown the trophies captured in Ukraine.

Before that, the head of Chechnya stated that his three sons were preparing to depart to Ukraine, where they would be stay in the most difficult sections of the combat line. This statement caused bewilderment among social network users.

According to the head of Chechnya, his sons "came close" to opponents' positions and "provided fire cover for the advancing fighters."
