Chechen fighters join Ukrainian military to take revenge on Putin

These Chechens are fighting to free Ukraine : “There are thousands of people like us. And there will be tens of thousands. Because people now get the understanding that we need to get away from Russia. We need to derussify ourselves as much as possible.

“We need to give up their (Russian) language, their alphabet, their culture, everything that ties us with them. Because, unfortunately, there are wonderful writers, poets and so on, but today all of those wonderful writers and poets are used by the Russians not to promote their culture or to enrich the culture of other nations, but solely as a mean of occupation.”
