Chechen Akhmat Commander Alaudinov demands apology from Russian blogger over comments about Akhmat

Join the voices Aliyev wants to silence. For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member Apti Alaudinov, the head of the Chechen Akhmat special forces, has demanded an apology from MMA fighter and blogger Maks Divnich for denigrating comments made about the unit and its leadership. Alaudinov's demand followed a video posted by Divnich on Telegram on 17 July, in which he described a confrontation with a soldier of Chechen origin at a swimming pool in Luhansk, Russian-occupied Ukraine. According to the blogger, the Chechen soldier behaved 'inappropriately' towards women and claimed to be a fighter from Akhmat. In the video, one of the men involved in the incident can be heard shouting: 'You'll find out what Akhmat really is'. Divnich addressed Alaudinov directly, demanding an explanation for the behaviour of the alleged Akhmat fighter. In a response video released on the evening of 19 July, Alaudinov denied that the individual involved had any connection to Akhmat and accused the blogger of discrediting the unit. According to Alaudinov, 'this person is a disgrace to the Chechen nation', 'was born and raised outside Chechnya', and 'has ended up exactly where he belongs'. Alaudinov added that the man had never served in the Akhmat special forces. Alaudinov also demanded an apology from Divnich for continuing to reference Akhmat in his publications: 'You must apologise for smearing me in your video and in your text. We are a unit of the Russian Ministry of Defence. Perhaps you are unaware, but there is criminal liability for this. It is called discrediting a unit of the Russian Ministry of Defence', he said. In response, Divnich called Alaudinov's statements manipulative. 'This is an outright lie. I clarified the next day that this scoundrel wasn't from Akhmat. Why this manipulation? Criminal liability? Is Apti Alaudinov going to file charges against me?' Divnich said. In an updated version of the 17 July publication, edited at 14:29 Moscow time, Divnich specified that he had confirmed the soldier involved in the altercation had no affiliation with the Akhmat unit and had merely used its name. Meanwhile, Alaudinov's Telegram channel featured reposts of several appeals calling on Divnich to apologise. Among them was a post from former Smolensk City Council deputy Maksim Baranov, who wrote: 'Maks Divnich must apologise to the heroes of the Special Military Operation [Russia's term for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine], to the fighters of the Sheikh Mansur Battalion, to our respected Hero of Russia, Lieutenant General Apti Aronovich Alaudinov, and to the heroes of the Akhmat special forces'. Speaking to the state-run news agency RIA Novosti on Monday, Alaudinov said the punishment for inciting ethnic hatred should be toughened. Currently, the offence carries a maximum sentence of six years. The Luhansk incident is not the first public controversy involving Divnich. Previously, in 2023, he took part in protests against the construction of a mosque in Moscow. Later, a video appeared online in which people in military uniform claimed they would oppose those protesting against the mosque's construction. According to the YouTube channel 'February Morning', the video featured Chechen security forces, although their nationality was not officially confirmed.

Putin's general declares 'WW3 has begun' and demands one million fresh troops

A Russian general has sparked alarm by claiming that World War 3 is in full swing, pointing to escalating global tensions in the wake of Israel's strike on Iran. Major General Apti Alaudinov, a key figure within Russia's military hierarchy, has called on the Kremlin for a massive mobilisation, suggesting the recruitment of up to a million new soldiers in light of the recent conflict escalation, which he believes has "already taken on a new turn and a new momentum". At 51, Alaudinov holds the position of deputy chief of the Russian Armed Forces' main military-political directorate, responsible for indoctrination and propaganda, and also commands the Akhmat special forces from his homeland of Chechnya. "We need to declare mobilisation," he declared on Telegram. "We need to prepare at least half a million people in advance. But realistically one million people." He further stated: "We need to call them up and start preparing them for the fact that the war has already begun, which we already know is happening - World War III. But it has already taken on a new turn and a new momentum," reports the Mirror. "And so that no one dares to play with us the way they played with all the other countries, and now with Iran. Believe me, we all need to unite, unite, unite at all levels." Alaudinov has been deeply involved in Russia's campaign to reclaim territory held by Ukraine in the Kursk region and is tipped as a likely successor to the ailing pro-Putin Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Earlier today, Alaudinov shared a post from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei calling for "severe retribution" against Israel. He signalled his readiness to voice his opinion directly to Putin with a call for mass mobilisation, suggesting a large-scale draft is necessary to break the deadlock in the conflict with Ukraine. Alaudinov's remarks followed Israel's bombardment of at least six military bases around Tehran, including Parchin, homes in two secure complexes for military chiefs, and various residential buildings in Tehran. Iranian authorities have labelled the attacks as targeted killings. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed that Israel will encounter "severe punishment" for its assault on the nation. Khamenei's declaration was broadcast by the state-controlled IRNA news agency, confirming the deaths of top military figures and scientists in the strikes. Israel "opened its wicked and blood-stained hand to a crime in our beloved country, revealing its malicious nature more than ever by striking residential centers," Khamenei stated.

Russian commander says situation in Belgorod 'under control' while battles continue in Kursk

By Lucy Papachristou (Reuters) - The situation in Russia's Belgorod region is "under control" after the Ukrainian army tried to break through the border two weeks ago, Russian commander Apti Alaudinov was quoted by the state RIA news agency as saying on Friday. Just as Ukrainian forces are battling to keep their grip on a sliver of Russia's Kursk region they captured last year, they have tried to stage a little-publicised incursion into the adjacent Belgorod region, according to Russian military bloggers. Alaudinov, commander of Chechnya's Akhmat special forces, told Russian state television that Moscow's forces were "clearing areas" of Ukrainian troops in Belgorod. "In general, our situation is quite good," RIA cited him as saying. "The enemy does not tire of throwing in new and new meat, although he sees every day that he suffers terrible losses and cannot achieve results." Reuters could not independently verify Alaudinov's report. 'Two Majors', a pro-Russian war blogger with over 1.2 million subscribers, wrote on Friday that fighting was continuing around Demidovka and Popovka, villages in Belgorod lying just over the border from Ukraine. "The enemy continues to attempt to break through the forest belts," Two Majors wrote, adding that Ukraine was also attacking four other towns near the frontier in Belgorod. On Friday Vyacheslav Gladkov, Belgorod's governor, reported multiple Ukrainian shelling and drone attacks over the past day on those four towns - Murom, Malinovka, Masychevo and Shebekino - as well as several others. One man was injured in Shebekino after a drone detonated in a parking lot, Gladkov said. Separately, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Friday battles were still underway to the north in the Kursk region, where Moscow's forces are fighting to eject Ukrainian troops from their last remaining major stronghold. Russian war bloggers have reported that more than 300 Ukrainian soldiers are hunkered down in a monastery in Kursk from which they are trying to defend their positions in a village called Guevo. Reuters was unable to independently verify any of the war bloggers' assertions. Should Moscow rout Ukraine from Kursk entirely, it would deliver a significant blow to Kyiv, whose army seized a chunk of the region last August to use as a future bargaining chip in talks to end the war.
