Four relatives of Chechen oppositionists were forcibly sent to war with Ukraine

In Chechnya, four relatives of the opposition Yangulbaevs were sent to fight with Ukraine - their uncle and three cousins. Abubakar Yangulbaev announced this in his TG channel.

Two of the above-mentioned individuals appear in a propaganda video released by the head of Chechnya, Kadyrov. On August 7, he reported on the dispatch to the front of another group of volunteers who allegedly received military training at the “Special Forces University” in Gudermes.

Abubakar Yangulbaev said that his relatives were detained by the police and taken to the "university of special forces", where in their case the training lasted only 2-3 days. After that, they were immediately enlisted in the Akhmat special unit and sent to Ukraine. Such a fate befell the 55-year-old brother of Abubakar's father Said-Akhmed Yangulbaev, two sons of another of his brothers - Adam and Yusup - and the son of the third brother Khasan Yangulbaev.

“Uncle Said-Ahmed (Sashka) and cousins – Khasan, Adam and Yusup – these are all Yangulbaevs in our family from 18 to 60 in Chechnya. A rally against us, harassment, threats, persecution, renunciation, mothers held hostage and deprivation of the right to the Motherland are not enough,” Abubakar shared. Recall that his mother Zarema Musaeva was sentenced to five and a half years in prison in Grozny.
