Although they may not have been sent directly from the Chechen Government (who's President was appointed by Putin) Their could be a deal between said forces and Russian officials Ex. We would be to busy securing Ukrainian territories . If we were, we couldn't be bothered from what you are doing for some tim

Sorry tile should read . % of Pro Russian forces in Ukraine identified as Chechen soldier's. Leader of Chechnya denies but says He dose not keep track of every Chechen is doing or should they have too.

All these story's remind me of world war 1&2. Germany started their invasions to "protect the German people within the foreign countries border" . Putin is using the same argument. Hitler also had official - "non oficial pro - German Militia" take up arms. My biggest fear has always been the saying " History repeats itself"

It's a historically accurate comparison of what is happening now and the lead up to WW2. Vice pretty much identified the Chechen soldiers during one of their latest videos.

Wait are they Chechen soldiers or are they Chechens that have just come to Ukraine?

Because they are from Chechnya, wearing camo, and carrying a weapon, does not make them Chechyen Soldiers. My point is I don't think this is "state sanctioned" support from Chechnya.

Yes, just like the "militias" in eastern Ukraine weren't state sanctioned Russian soldiers.

Think it's beyond obvious these aren't locals that decided to hit the streets. They move in on premium targets like airports with weaponry no ordinary citizen would possess. Shooting down helicopters with Russian anti-aircraft weapons. Way too much organization for what would in a uprising of the populace be a ragtag disorganized not well equipped group.

The soldiers pretty much confirmed they are Chechens but it gets a little muddy on who's order they are there on. It is pretty clear that there are Russian citizens participating in the seperatists. After the battle for the airport there were about 20 dead militants brought back in caskets to Russia as they were Russian nationals.

More stories that are coming out are they are both. Soldiers are carrying Russian standard Military Hardware and stike with precise precision. Remember The Chechnyan President is appointed By Putin Himself. He would never be able to say officially. He also says " but we don't keep track of every Chechen citizen" . That's so sounds like a be cop out.

Please don't get me wrong. I am not on the pro-Russians side, I ain't on any side really.

This is as much an information battle as it is military. It might just be semantics but to me they are important.

I am fully on board with disliking Russia.

Information and the press are extremely important in these types of conflicts, look to the Balkan wars of the 90s.

Uggh, not enough coffee yet. I read the title as Chechen Spiders being sent to help Pro- Russian forces.

Yuck.
