Military equipment of Kadyrov people sent to Ukrainian border

The highways of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR) and the Stavropol Territory see columns of military equipment, with which the Grozny OMON (riot police) and "Rosgvardiya" (Russian National Guard) are equipped. The machines are moving in a northwest direction towards the Ukrainian border, the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) has informed.

Videos have appeared in social media showing a convoy of vehicles typical of the "Rosgvardiya" (BTR-80, "Tiger" and "Ural-VV" armoured vehicles) driving along the highways, the CIT reported on February 3.

"The vehicles bear the symbols of the 141st Special Motorized Regiment named after Akhmat Kadyrov, better known as the 'Sever' (North) Regiment," the report says. The regiment is part of the 46th Separate Operative Brigade of the "Rosgvardiya" deployed in Grozny, the CIT has noted.

Another column of vehicles with armoured cars "Patrol" and "Gorets" (Highlander), characteristic of the "Rosgvardiya", was seen in the Stavropol Territory near Nevinnomyssk, the CIT's research team reports. "The column is also moving northwest. The equipment in the column corresponds to the vehicles with which the Grozny OMON is armed," the report says.

The Chechen "Rosgvardiya", which actually reports directly to Ramzan Kadyrov, "extremely rarely leaves the republic," the research team has pointed out. The participation of Kadyrov people in the conflict in the territory of Ukraine "means much less control over the observance of the laws of war and the attitude towards the civilian population," the researchers believe.
