Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov reached out to Ukrainian intelligence following the disappearance of his close associate, Adam Delimkhanov, the warlord wrote on Telegram on June 14.
“I myself can’t connect with Adam Delimkhanov,” Kadyrov claims.
“I ask Ukrainian intelligence to pass me information on what location and what positions they were shelling, so that I could after all locate my dear BROTHER. I promise a generous reward and ask for cooperation.”
The Russian parliament, the State Duma, reported that Delimkhanov had allegedly been wounded in combat. Delimkhanov had earlier taken part in the occupation of Mariupol.
On the Ukrainian side, Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemember and political analyst Kir Sazonov claims that Delimkhanov was killed in Russian-occupied Prymorsk, Zaporizhzhya Oblast by the Banderlohy Special Forces unit.
"Banderlohy operated with the Horizon group, the Phobos unit of the Zaporizhzhya military task grouping," Sazonov wrote on Facebook.
“Other people close to Kadyrov and about 200 other personnel joined him at the ‘concert’.”
Reportedly, 12 helicopters came to pick up the bodies to keep everything secret.
A few hours later, the Russian Defense Ministry's echoed claims made by the Duma that Delimkhanov was "wounded but alive”.
The State Duma alleges they have been in contact with Delimkhanov since his apparent disappearance in Ukraine.
