The deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Major General Apty Alaudinov, denied that he had been captured. He stated this on a video in his telegram channel.
"I'm going to the Belgorod region… Why am I recording a video… It turns out that I was captured on the Internet today. I'm not aware of just all this. Now it's already 6 o'clock in the evening, I'm driving around the Belgorod region... on September 28... I'm going to visit my guys. We are fighting, the enemy is trembling where we are," Alaudinov said.
He noted that he does not pay attention to such messages in the Nets — operates on the principle of "when dogs bark, the lion does not react."
