Russia vows long-term military strategy, threatens NATO solidarity

Apti Alaudinow, a close friend of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and recently appointed to a position in the Russian Ministry of Defense, announced on Russian television that Russia plans to continue its aggressive military actions for years. He also made threats towards NATO countries.

Many reports from Russian media or government representatives serve as propaganda. These are part of the information war by the Russian Federation.

A Russian military official stated that the Kremlin's "special operation" is intended to last for several years. This strategy targets not only Ukraine but also Western nations.

"The NATO bloc will not exist in its current form. Many of these countries, now closely following America, will end up kneeling and pledging allegiance to Russia, begging to join our coalition," said Apti Alaudinow during a discussion with Russian propagandist Olga Skabajewa.

The Chechen military, in making threats against NATO, disclosed that Russia has a long-term strategy planned. "We will need to work hard until around 2029 to 2030," he mentioned.

Since 2022, Apti Alaudinow has led the Chechen battalion "Achmat", under the command of the National Guard Forces of Russia. He is Ramzan Kadyrov's closest associate and is seen as the most likely successor in the event of Kadyrov's severe illness.

Anton Geraschenko, advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, noted the interview in which Apti Alaudinow revealed the Kremlin's long-term military goals until at least 2030. The politician shared these revelations on his social media profile.

The Chechen military is the 17th individual Poland has sanctioned for supporting Russia's war efforts against Ukraine. He was added to the list on April 26, 2022. Alongside him, the list includes 35 companies and 15 individuals, such as oligarchs who have amassed their fortunes through connections with Vladimir Putin, such as Oleg Deripaska and Mikhail Fridman.
