A video of kindergarten students' appeal to Alaudinov led to investigations.

After the publication of a video in which kindergarten children from Rostov-on-Don recorded a video addressing Akhmat fighters and using the slogan "Rostov is strong," the video's creator and the kindergarten's director were called into question and asked to explain why the children, in the freezing cold, chose to support a Chechen unit. Investigations are underway in connection with the video's publication, sources reported.

A video of kindergarten children in Rostov-on-Don addressing Apti Alaudinov and the Akhmat special forces was posted on Alaudinov's Telegram account on January 26. The children in the video identified themselves as students at Kindergarten No. 238. Outside the school, on a snowy playground, they addressed Alaudinov with wishes for victory, for the soldiers to return safe and sound, and for "God to protect them." They also thanked the soldiers for living in peace, sleeping peacefully, going to kindergarten, and going for walks.

One of the girls said on camera at the end of the video: "Akhmat is strong, Russia is mighty, victory will be ours! Pew-pew-pew!" while miming firing a pistol.

Journalist Anastasia Mironova responded to the video: "Were children sent out into the cold to support Apti Alaudinov?" — Mironova was outraged by the kindergarteners being sent outside. "It seems to me that the children were forced to crush the Akhmatsila in the cold in order to crush us, who are demanding that society be protected from the attacks of this unit and are asking for attention to be paid to the situation in it," she emphasized.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," State Duma deputy Dmitry Kuznetsov stated that the Akhmat Children's Academy of Friendship of Peoples can educate young people. He also noted the importance of the participation of men from Chechnya and other regions of the North Caucasus in educating youth across the country. The Akhmat Children's Academy of Friendship of Peoples should not be created under the auspices of Akhmat, as Russia is a multinational country, and the methods of the Chechen authorities and the example of Adam Kadyrov cast doubt on the successful education of children in Chechnya, Telegram users stated. Apti Alaudinov called opponents of the idea fascists on February 2. He said the proposal to create such an academy "came from the children of Moscow," and called on its opponents, the "armchair warriors," to calm down, accompanying this with a threat.
