Russian President Vladimir Putin’s surprise visit to Chechnya and meeting with its leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has drawn global attention.
Chechen Major General Apti Alaudinov, a key commander of the Akhmat special forces, has been outspoken about Ukraine’s military advances in the Kursk region.

As Alaudinov gains prominence, his steadfast loyalty to both Putin and Kadyrov raises speculation: Could he be Kadyrov’s potential successor?
