  1. Well, well, well… how the turn tables…

  2. Oh wow. Woops. I don't think the Chechens are gonna stop at the border and Russia doesn't have a military to stop them when they get there.

  3. Chechnya has seen first hand what the Kremlin can do to another country. They will have a say in this

  4. I thought I was misreading the title of video. 😮 Wow!! This is great news.

  5. God bless you dear brave Chechen soldiers to helping Ukrainian people Thank you so much.

  6. This must be a minority of Chechens

  7. First these men will chase Russia out of Ukraine, then they’ll go to liberate their homeland.

  8. Let them all fight each other. Ukraine isn't worth one drop of American blood or one cent.

  9. We never know who to believe in war so better trust no one

  10. These Chechens are fighting for what they believe, freedom and justice. Brave people.

  11. They are MUSLIMS soldiers why didn't you mention that ???

  12. Russia needs Chechen soldiers to advance, practically they were the front to take all the cities with bravery and without fear, I think that the Russian soldiers have a lot to learn….

  13. They have been there fighting for months

  14. Glad to see that some Chechens remember their heritage.

  15. I'm an American and I don't think Chechnyans are evil. The russians murdered their fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers. I'm so proud to see them fighting against russia.

  16. traitors
    🇲🇽🇷🇺

  17. Повестка ебать какая антироссийская. Всё говно, что можно найти, вытаскивают. Я вам таких историй много накидать могу про другую страну 😊

  18. Ukraine doesn't deserve to exist

  19. .. another great stoy..🤣🤣🤣

  20. If US didn't give Zelenskie assurance of help. Zelenskie might have surrendered and resulted to a significantly lesser casualties. Let the Russian speaking people settle their miss understanding. US is using Ukrainians to fight Russia in a proxy war. If this madman Putin gets cornered and pressed that nuclear button, we are all doomed. Wherever US goes, there is war. I think US is the real villain here. They need to reset Russia, China and North Korea by war. China, Russia and India talking to oust US dollar as the international currency is threatening US. They really need this war for the reset. These are just my opinion.

  21. What happen to Chechen soldiers killing children and surrendered soldiers before and video taping it.

  22. Remember that that particular group of Chechen's are the same group that perpetrated the Beslan School Seige which cost the lives of 300+ children, teachers and civilians, these people are no angels. They shouldn't be praised.

  23. This is a fricken twist and a half

  24. you def aren’t talking about the republic of ish which is the majority of chechens… Man I wish the news would stop lying

  25. where's your story on the US fighters fighting in Ukraine….You guys love war and murder…gonna love WW3…kiss you children g'bye

  26. There are news networks on both sides doing news propaganda. It is difficult to know the real truth because all sides have their own truth version.

  27. umm hate to say it but that is not in ukraine…

  28. full of lies worldwide stage we know zelensky is a comedy actor😁😂🤣

  29. this literally sounds like propaganda…

  30. FAKE NEWS EDUCATE YOURSELVES, WATCH OTHER SOURCES. NOT HARD!

  31. Notice how distorted the history presented before you is:

    Using footage from what could be the 1996 Butchering of Chechnya (*Under Boris Yeltsin – with the backing of the Clinton Administration…*) and the 2012 version – when NATO catering to Jihadist extremists.

    But don’t let that get in the way of a good narrative.

  32. lol which chechens are you talking about? Cause all the chechens I know are still fighting ukranians…

  33. Old news, they’ve been doing this since basically the beginning

  34. I thought they was against Ukraine at the beginning of all this?
