Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic, revealed on Monday morning (February 13) that his&nbsp;deputy head&nbsp;was poisoned on Wednesday&nbsp;(February 8) when he opened an envelope containing a toxic substance. Apti Alaudinov, who was also "commander of the Akhmat special forces and deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps," was not in danger of dying, according to Kadyrov, and would recover. He was examined by a doctor in a Moscow facility, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.&nbsp;

"Friends, our dear brother ... Apti Alaudinov, was poisoned a few days ago," Kdyrov wrote on his Telegram account.&nbsp;

Alaudinov had allegedly received an envelope from an aide. After opening the letter, Alaudinov understood from a caustic smell that he had been exposed to a dangerous&nbsp;chemical. He quickly washed his hands and nasal cavity and&nbsp;was immediately given medical attention.&nbsp;

Samples of the poison were taken for examination and an investigation was opened into the assassination attempt, said Kadyrov. In August, Alaudinov was awarded the Hero of Russia title. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was strongly supported by Kadyrov and his Chechen fighters. The conflict has been dominated by Chechen forces.

As&nbsp;per&nbsp;Russian intelligence, they were receiving training at an American base in Syria.
