Ukraine puts Akhmat special forces commander on wanted list

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has put Apti Alaudinov, deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry and commander of the Akhmat special forces, on wanted list. He is charged with "encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine."

Alaudinov's reaction was not long in coming.

"The question is who of us will look for whom and who will get to whom first. The one who signed the document putting me on wanted list should already be thinking about how to save himself," the military leader commented on the news.

He also said that Russia will definitely win and "will judge all the smart guys who think they can scare us with some kind of search."

Earlier, the SBU put Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya, on wanted list. He is accused of waging "aggressive military actions."
