The head of Akhmat Alaudinov called for conscripts to be sent to their
Conscript soldiers should take part in combat operations against Ukraine, said the commander of the special forces "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov. "Today, everyone in our country must stand in formation, from young to old," he said, suggesting that "everyone gather together and go to the front."

Conscript soldiers must take part in military operations against Ukraine. This statement was made by the deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed forces, commander of the Akhmat special forces, Major General Apti Alaudinov.
"If your 18-year-old children, who are already in the Ministry of Defense, should not defend the Fatherland even when the enemy attacked and when he is on our territory, I have one question for you: why do you and your children need this country?" Alaudinov said in a video posted on his Telegram channel.
According to the commander of the Akhmat special forces, the idea that the Homeland must be protected should be instilled in boys from childhood.
Alaudinov also said that he understands that the supreme commander-in-chief, Russian President Vladimir Putin, has made a decision according to which conscripts should not "serve anywhere except the territory of their state" in peacetime.
"But today there is a war, the enemy has come to us. Today, everyone in our country must stand in line, from young to old. If we don't realize this, we won't be able to go far," Alaudinov believes.
As the commander of the Akhmat special forces stated, "we will win the war" even without "those who doubt."
"No one who is not destined to die will die. But if you die defending your Homeland, your faith in God, you will go to heaven.
In his speech, he called on Russians to unite, and men to go sign a contract so that "tomorrow they don't hide their eyes."
"I suggest that everyone gather together and go to the front. Our country has been attacked by the enemy today. What else should serve as a reason for you to really force yourself to go to the front to defend your Fatherland, if not the fact that there is an enemy on the territory of Russia?" the Major General addressed subscribers.

Conscripts will not be involved in the military operation in Ukraine, Sergei Shoigu, who then held the post of Russian Defense Minister, promised in April 2024.

The fact that conscripts will not take part in a special military operation was also stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2022.
"I would like to emphasize that soldiers undergoing military service do not and will not participate in combat operations. There will also be no additional conscription of reservists from the reserve," the Russian president said in a congratulatory message to women on International Women's Day.
