The head of Crimea responded to Kadyrov's call to gather 85,000 volunteers from all regions to be sent to the front "All regions are working in this direction. Crimea has already deployed more than 1,200 volunteers and is forming 2 more battalions. We will fully provide them with equipment, means of protection, communications and intelligence. The process is underway, we are trying to ensure that everyone leaves fully equipped," Aksyonov said. Earlier, the head of Chechnya called for "self-mobilization", so that 85,000 volunteers would be recruited from 85 subjects of the Russian Federation.
