MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. A lot of Ukrainian infantrymen were eliminated by the Akhmat special forces group in the Sudzha area, Major General Apty Alaudinov, deputy chief of the Russian Armed Forces’ Main Military-Political Department and commander of the Akhmat special forces commando unit, said on Telegram.
