Two Akhmatovites Robbed a Cell Phone Store in Kursk Region

A cell phone store was robbed in the village of Glushkovo in Kursk Region. It is reported that the crime was committed by two Russian soldiers. The robbers took phones and money from the cash register. They were identified as fighters from the Akhmat unit from Chechnya.

"Voyenkor" and adviser to the governor of Kursk Region Roman Alekhine said that the Chechens who robbed the cell phone store are already answering for their actions. According to him, anyone who put on the uniform of a Russian soldier, took an oath and then stole or destroyed the property of a Russian citizen, regardless of nationality, must answer under the laws of wartime. "Because they not only stole - they disgraced the uniform of our soldiers," Alekhine said.

One of the looters signs up on social networks under the name Yusuf Abdulvadudov. His photos were found online, where he poses next to the commander of the 249th separate special motorized battalion "South" of the Grozny unit of the Russian Guard, Khusein Mezhidov.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Armed Forces blew up a bridge over the Seim River in Glushkovo. Then the Ukrainian military destroyed a second bridge over this river, thus leaving the Russian army with only one bridge for supplying supplies.
