Tensions between Chechens and Russian soldiers are growing. Chechen militias reportedly executed badly wounded Russian soldiers north-east of Bucha. These are the militants of the Kadyrovtsy group, commanded by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, Putin’s ally, who sent his troops to Ukraine in support of the Tsar’s army.

But the militiamen are said to have killed their “comrades” in the Russian army in a field hospital near Bucha. “They took the badly wounded soldiers to a large field hospital and just shot those who were in serious condition,” Artem Hurin, a member of Irpin City Council, told the Daily Beast. The Kadyrovtsy group also allegedly set up a “torture chamber” in a former glass factory in the Borodyanka area.
Who are the Chechen militiamen?
The fearsome members of Kadyrovtsy (literally “followers of Kadyrov”) are a group founded in 1994 by Akhmad Kadyrov, Ramzan’s father. At first they fought against the Russians in the separatist war of the Czech Republic of Ichkeria, which began in 1991, but then they went further, on the other hand they sided with Moscow against the separatists. Then, in 2006, when Kadyrov became Chechen President, they were legalized as his personal protection service.
Their reputation is notorious: guerrilla warfare, torture, murder, human rights violations. Many call them “butchers” and suspect them of killing former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov.
Russian soldiers against the Chechens
Part of the Chechens’ role in the Ukraine war is to prevent the Russian soldiers themselves from fleeing the battle by threatening to shoot them if they try to defect. It is precisely their position that has infuriated part of the Moscow army, which has now taken control of the situation and reversed the situation towards the Chechen oppressors. Viktor Kovalenko, a former veteran of the Ukrainian army, said Russian soldiers would turn their guns on Kadyrov’s militias. “In the occupied village of Kiselivka (near the famous Russian arms depot of Chornobaivka) in the Kherson province, about 50 Russian soldiers of Buryat nationality opened fire on Kadyrovian Chechen comrades at night,” he wrote on Twitter. “There are dead and wounded,” he added.
