On June 9, Ruslan Numkhadzhiyev, the Military Commissar of the Chechen Federal Republic, stated that conscripts would not be sent to the “zone of the special military operation” [Russo-Ukrainian War], citing Russian legislation that prohibits deploying young men without adequate training to combat positions.

During his remarks to journalists, Numkhadzhiyev emphasized that conscripts are legally barred from frontline deployment until they complete a young fighter course and full military training. "No young men can be sent to the zone of the special military operation. It is impossible under Russian Federation legislation. They must undergo a young fighter course and a full training program to be eligible for frontline positions," Numkhadzhiyev was quoted as saying by Chechnya Today. He explained that after three months of basic service, when conscripts acquire essential military skills, they would be offered the option to sign a contract. The decision to do so, however, would rest entirely with the individual soldier.

Numkhadzhiyev clarified that those who choose not to sign a contract would continue their one-year mandatory service before returning home, while those interested in the financial benefits of contract service could opt to stay. "Even after completing their service, we encourage conscripts to return home to their parents," the military commissar added. He further noted that conscripts are briefed before deployment about the implications and possible outcomes of signing a contract and urged them to complete their service terms before voluntarily applying to frontline combat units, such as Akhmat, if they so wish.
