🇷🇺❌🇷🇺 - Opposition to Ramzan Kadyrov has been fueled in part by his decision to send Chechen men to fight alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, a conflict some Chechen opposition groups have condemned as “Putin’s war.”

⚡️ Critics accuse Kadyrov of sacrificing Chechen lives to serve Putin's interests, adding to historical grievances over political repression, human rights abuses and Russian control of Chechnya.

🇺🇦 As a result, hundreds of Chechen volunteers have joined Ukrainian forces to fight against Russia, including members of the Dzhokhar Dudayev and Sheikh Mansur battalions. Many view Ukraine’s war against Russia as a continuation of Chechnya’s own struggle for independence, having previously fought Russian forces during the Chechen wars.
