Kadyrov claimed to have lost contact with Delimkhanov but subsequently admitted lying (UPDATED)

Adam Delimkhanov, MP of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, was attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and ceased to communicate. Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of Chechnya, wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

He asked Ukrainian intelligence to provide accurate information about the location of the strike that could have injured his associate for a reward. "I am asking Ukrainian intelligence to provide information on which positions were hit so that I can find my dear brother," Kadyrov wrote.

Apti Alaudinov, Commander of the Akhmat special forces unit, wrote that all Kadyrovite units are leaving Maryinka in the Donetsk region and are going in search of Delimkhanov. "We received an order from Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov to find him there by any means and take him out, no matter what it takes," the commander of the Akhmat unit reported in his Telegram channel.

Kyrylo Sazonov, the Ukrainian political scientist currently in the ranks of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, was the first to report the probable death of the Kadyrovite. According to his information, Delimkhanov's motorcade came under attack in the city of Prymorsk, Zaporizhzhia region.

"Intelligence was searching for a cluster of enemy equipment, and there was such a motorcade on SUVs. The leadership of the Akhmat unit...

Artillery reacted instantly. There are no injured ones... all the bodies were taken out on helicopters.

12 aircraft arrived within half an hour," Sazonov wrote. Before disappearing in Ukraine, Delimkhanov visited the Belgorod region, where Akhmat units arrived from Chechnya.

The Kadyrovites should be strengthening the Russian border, through which fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion repeatedly crossed in May and June. Recently, Delimkhanov had a public conflict with Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner PMC.

He criticized the Wagner PMC for complaining about poor provision. The conflict was allegedly resolved with the participation of Ramzan Kadyrov. However, Prigozhin continued his media attacks with humiliating criticism of the combat experience and qualities of the Akhmat unit soldiers.

Delimkhanov participated in the occupation of Mariupol in 2022.
