The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that all the cities in the Kharkiv direction will return to the control of Russian troops. Earlier, the new local administrations reported that evacuation from Kupyansk, Izyum, Balakleya and other settlements had begun due to the fighting. The Defense Ministry said that from Balakleya and Raisins, the troops were regrouped to the Donetsk direction in order to achieve the stated goals of the special operation.
“It was forced out of the military strategy,” Kadyrov stressed, expressing the opinion that “there is also a plus in this.”
According to him, he personally guarantees “that all these cities will be returned back, our people are already there.” Kadyrov also said that “another 10,000 fighters are ready to leave for these regions.”
“We will reach Odessa in the near future,” Kadyrov assured.
