Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, in his Telegram channel, thanked the fighters who were sent to Rostov on June 24, RBC news reports.
"I assess their actions as very effective and well-thought-out. Any military action in a densely populated city could have led to mass casualties. The fighters acted strictly according to the command and coped excellently with the tasks assigned to them," — said Kadyrov.
Commander of the "Akhmat" Special Forces unit, Apti Alaudinov, and the commander of the "Sever-Akmat" regiment, Zayndi Zingiev, were sent to Rostov. The head of Chechnya noted that their positions in the combat zone are "successfully occupied" by reserve groups.
"Thank God, the situation ended without conflicts. Our guys demonstrated high combat endurance and courage to defend the Motherland right from their first command,"— wrote Kadyrov.
On June 23, the founder of the Wagner Private Military Company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused the "military leadership" of attacking the company's camp and promised a response in the form of a "march for justice" and a march on Moscow.
The next day, Prigozhin claimed that his forces had blockaded the city of Rostov-on-Don in Russia and had control over military facilities. By Saturday evening, June 24, the Wagner PMC decided not to march on the capital, and Prigozhin announced that the Wagner columns would withdraw to rear camps.
The Kremlin explained that the situation was resolved with the mediation of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who held negotiations with Prigozhin. The case against the businessman will be dropped, and he will be able to travel to Belarus.
In the night of June 25, the Wagnercolumn left Rostov-on-Don.
