We rub them out in the outhouse - #Putin said of #Chechens he accused of terrorism in October 1999. The phrase got picked up by #Kukly, a satirical puppet show on #NTV - the privately-owned independent channel, that was a firm favourite with #Russian liberal audiences - a bit like ‘Spitting image’ in the UK or Les Guignols in France. The show depicted Putin as an evil gnome who a group of villagers mistook for a beautiful young man

Important if you are on telegram!!! Kadyrov is trying to catch #Chechens using a feedback bot pretending to be Shiekh Mansur Battalion!
They set up a cop-cat telegram page of the battalion!!! Do not follow, do not contact! #Chechnya #Ichkeria https://t.me/Batalon_Shaiha_Mansura/1374

An unexpected glimpse of disillusionment in Russia’s trenches

“The #Russians were living in the trenches, doing the actual fighting,” Viktor says. “But in the village itself, #Chechens and #Buryats were staying in people’s houses, not fighting at all. They would just go around the village and rob as they pleased and threaten anyone who tried to stop them - both locals and Russians. The Russians did not like them at all”

@davidlidz If the #Chechens really want to, they know how to fight. Especially fight #Russians.

When guys like these get back to Chechnya after the war's over, they're probably going to assassinate Putin's bitch boy, #Kadyrov

Of course, most of the Chechens who Kadyrov sent to the front don't do anything but make tiktok videos (and shoot Russian deserters)

@davidlidz ok hardly anyone knows about this but it involves the #Chechens. It is a very long story but here is it basically…. the Chechens who are fighting WITH THE #RUSSIANS are the ones who have been sent by Kadyrov... but what i mean is that they're not really combat troops. They're more like enforcers who are there to shoot Russian soldiers who try to defect/surrender. The Chechens who are fighting WITH THE UKRAINIANS are real soldiers, who hate Russians, like most Chechens do…..

Chechens in Bosnia seek to dodge Russian draft, reach EU

A group of ethnic Chechens fleeing Russia arrived in Bosnia this week, hoping to use the Balkan country as a launchpad to reach the European Union and avoid getting sent to fight in Ukraine.

@Kenneygeorge @toomas_ilves The very fact that every time we read about "#russians" (in the press or on social media) we have to internally translate it into "all people with russian citizenship, including #Tatars, #Udmurts, #Buryats, #Chechens, #Khakass - you name it" - his very fact is a confirmation of the fact that the English-language narrative of #russia is completely shaped by the russian imperial mythos. The one they hoped to make self-prophetic, but that doesn't have to be!

The #Ukrainian Armed Forces are approaching #Svatovo and #Kremennaya, and the #Russian authorities are sending #Chechens to the occupied territories of #Ukraine to form the so-called administrative regime, - ISW

According to the institute, the #Russians are preparing to increase the pace of the offensive in the #Luhansk and #Kharkiv regions in order to prevent the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine in the winter.

Liu Sivaya : Who are the #Chechens defending? Why are they fighting in #Ukraine ? https://www.anoncandanga.com/liu-sivaya-who-are-the-chechens-defending-why-are-they-fighting-in-ukraine/

Fail of the day: the #Kremlin #Skabeeva showed footage of #Chechens near #Bakhmut in her broadcast, but there is one "but" - these Chechens are fighters of the #Ukrainian battalion named after #SheikhMansur.

Ichkerian (chechens) are ready to take on the Russians
#chechens #Ukraine

The number of #Russian obituaries for their dead soldiers is massive. Lots of high-ranking officers too,as always, the Russians are using non-Russians as cannon fodder for their wars (#Chechens, #Tatars, #Altai, etc). Just like they used the #Ukrainians in #Afghanistan in the 1980s

https://kyivindependent.com/national/meet-the-chechens-fighting-russia-in-ukraine

Most of the #Chechens who are in #Ukraine are definitely part of Kadyrov's special Chechen units, loyal to him (basically mercenaries). They don't really get into combat. They are there as enforcers to keep an eye on Russian troops. They shoot Russians who try to surrender. Then there are Chechens who have volunteered to fight FOR THE #UKRAINIANS because they hate Russians and are happy to be killing them.
