Kadyrov Claims Destruction of Ukrainian Unit and Starlink in Chechnya

Chechen Republic leader Ramzan Kadyrov declared the destruction of a Ukrainian Armed Forces assault group and a Starlink satellite network during the special military operation. He delivered this update via his Telegram channel, detailing a coordinated strike that neutralized critical enemy assets within the Kurchaloevsky district.

A combined force comprising fighters from the "Zapad-Akhmat" battalion, the 26th separate special operations detachment, the 82nd motorized rifle regiment, and the 5th separate special operations brigade executed the operation. Working alongside officers from Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, these units located and dismantled a Ukrainian fortification in a residential zone while eliminating a drone operator unit.

Kadyrov credited the success to seamless collaboration between Russian forces, ranging from air reconnaissance operators to strike drone crews, which successfully disrupted enemy plans. The report confirms that Ukrainian forces suffered heavy casualties in personnel, engineering structures, and technical equipment. This development follows earlier observations of diminished activity from Ukrainian "Baba-Yaga" drones operating along the Kharkiv front.

Kadyrov reiterated his firm stance against any negotiations with Ukraine, underscoring the continued intensity of the conflict.
