More than 10,000 “bloody” Chechen soldiers fight under Putin’s orders in Ukraine: “They are known for their violent actions and human rights violations”

More than 10,000 Chechen soldiers shoutingly prepared for the war in Ukraine. As you can see in the video, they walked through the north of the country and ended up entering Ukrainian territory, something that they themselves shared on their social networks, where they told how their way to the front was. This is how the Chechen soldiers, the faction related to the Putin regime, entered Ukraine to participate in the war.

“They are a group of mercenaries that Moscow uses to carry out its actions,” says Alberto Priego, Professor of International Relations at Comillas University. his last goal was, according to the newspaper ‘The Times’, assassinate the ukrainian presidentalthough they did not succeed

With the arrival of these soldiers in Ukraine, the message sent by the Kremlin is clear, according to the experts: “It wants to send a signal that they are going with everything, that it would be very hard, and try to demoralize and reduce to the maximum the ukrainian resistance“, says Ángel Saz-Carranza, professor at ESADE.

In this sense, Alberto Priego warns that the Chechen soldiers “they are quite bloodthirsty and known for their violent actions and violations of human rights”. His arrival reminds of the two Chechen wars and, with it, of the violence that was experienced there. “Everything that has to do with that conflict generates propaganda from a very aggressive, cruel, sadistic military …” highlights Ángel Saz-Carranza.

It is a body related to its leader, Ramzán Kadýrov, “a very controversial character, very aggressive, and who has accusations of human rights violations“, indicates Priego. According to the experts, it is a mainly aesthetic movement, although also strategic, whose objective is send the message of fear to those fighting in Ukraine.
