Three thousand elite Chechen troops took up positions in Moscow early on Saturday morning to defend the Russian capital against advancing mutineers from the Wagner mercenary group, the Chechen state broadcaster "Grozny" said on Saturday night.
"The fighters have been at their positions in Moscow since early morning and are ready to carry out any order from Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Putin," it said on Telegram.

Apty Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces unit and deputy commander of Russia’s 2nd Army Corps, refuted reports alleging his fighters' withdrawal from Belgorod in southwest Russia.
"I am not aware of any withdrawal of Akhmat units. Nobody has withdrawn anyone from there, this is all talk," the military commander told TASS.
Earlier, social media reported that the Akhmat special forces unit had been pooled out of Belgorod.
