| [RFE/RL] Russian state television plans to broadcast a documentary this week alleging that Chechen forces loyal to the Kremlin are on the ground in Syria. A preview for the documentary to be broadcast on February 10 quotes Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov as saying Chechen agents are gathering military intelligence inside Daesh-controlled territory and have also infiltrated the ranks of the group. It showed a training camp in Chechnya, where it said soldiers now in Syria had been trained. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to confirm the report. |
