Chechen soldiers ‘seen fighting alongside Russians in Kursk’
The leader of Russia’s Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video clip that he stated showed soldiers from the Chechen battalion ‘Akhmat’, alongside another Russian unit, after a confrontation with Ukrainians in Russia’s Kursk region.
Similar footage from a body camera was being circulated on Telegram channels. This footage showed a military vehicle marked with a triangle and several bodies in Ukrainian uniform all while gunfire could be heard at the location.
Reuters was able to confirm the location where the videos were filmed. The date could not be verified.
On August 13, Russian forces struck back at Ukrainian troops with missiles, drones, and airstrikes in actions that one senior commander said had halted Ukraine’s advance after the biggest attack on sovereign Russian territory since the war began.
Ukrainian soldiers smashed through the Russian border a week ago in a surprise attack that Russian President Vladimir Putin said was aimed at improving Kyiv’s negotiating position ahead of possible talks and slowing the advance of Russian forces along the front.

Putin wanted WW1 in Ukraine and Ukraine gave Russia WW2 in Kursk.
The Chechens are mighty warriors. Respect.
Ol Tik-tock Kaderov. He should run 👁️
pssst, Kursk is still Ukraine 😊
Oh the irony. It wasn’t to long ago that Russia tried to crush the Chechens, in two different wars. Yet here they are. 🤷♂️
Russian military wouldnt stand a chance vs NATO
Chechens should be embarrassed fighting with Russia considering what Russia did to them in 90s
These Chechens are just livestock to Russia.
First time of me actually seeing them fight ? Or just tik toks
Looks rehearsed. They ran from Ukrainian armed forces the moment they crossed the border.
Western propaganda
😂

Chechens happy to be lapdogs for Russians.
They're looking for an escape route. The remainder were easily captured.
They finally decided to join the winning side.
These Chechens are opporuntists and a disgrace. Their leader is a nutcase like Putin and his followers are mercenaries pretending to be loyalists.
VIVA RUS 🌹🇷🇺🌹
Some captions and explanations would be nice isn’t the triangle symbol on the vehicle a Ukrainian one ?
Chechnya will be free too, in the end. Georgia. Moldovia. All liberated from their respective Russian occupations.
