The deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Major General Apty Alaudinov, denied being captured. This was stated in a video on his Telegram channel.
“I’m going to the Belgorod region… Why am I recording a video? So it turns out on the Internet that I was caught today. I’m just not aware of all this. Now it’s already 6 pm, I’m driving through the Belgorod region… September 28… I’m going to visit my boys. We are at war, where we are the enemy trembles.” – said Alaudinov.
He noted that he does not pay attention to this type of messages on the Internet; acts according to the principle “when dogs bark, the lion does not react.”
