The commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apti Alaudinov, predicted the collapse of NATO

The result of the “NWO” will be the fact that the NATO bloc will cease to exist, and its members will ask Russia to accept them into its coalition. Apti Alaudinov, deputy head of the Main Directorate for Military-Political Work of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, commander of the Akhmat special forces, made this forecast on the air of “Russia 1”.

“Russia will fight with Ukraine until 2029-2030, and the final result of this campaign will be the destruction of NATO in its current format,” Alaudinov said. Countries that currently rely on the United States will want to join Russia, he said.

“Most of those states that today run like mongrels after America will themselves kneel and swear allegiance to Russia, asking to be taken into the fold of our coalition,” he said.

On April 16, Alaudinov, a close associate of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, was appointed to the post of deputy head of the Main Directorate for Military-Political Work of the Ministry of Defense.

The day before, Novaya Gazeta Europe published an article about Kadyrov, which stated that he could no longer hold his post for health reasons. The publication believes that the Kremlin is banking on Apti Alaudinov as Kadyrov’s likely successor as leader of Chechnya.
