Earlier this spring, a Russian unit that trained at a Chechen military academy deployed to southern Ukraine, as Russia’s military girded for an anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Called RUS, the volunteer unit is affiliated with Akhmat, a semi-autonomous special forces detachment that is commanded and overseen by the government of Chechnya. RUS soldiers trained at a special academy located in eastern Chechnya.

Another vehicle (presumably a maintenance vehicle with a power supply unit) was taken out by several GMLRS strikes as well. pic.twitter.com/4vwbxBIonz
