Important to note, if this is true. Also note, the U.S. Media is finally starting to notice what is going on over there.

Another thing to note, Kiev has yet to say how many casualties they took yesterday, although they have admitted "there are casualties". Usually, they have been fairly quick to acknowledge their dead and wounded. Why not now?

Given the reports of Chechens in Ukraine and the training of volunteers in Crimea why would you doubt that Putin has elected to use proxies to destabilize Ukraine? The Russian disinformation program has counted on a slow witted western media to cover its lies when the internet has readily exposed them.

Chechens in Ukraine? Wow, the green men went their to fight Chechens. That’s a good one. Is that why Putin sent them to Crimea and Georgia, to get the Chechens?

They’re literally giving interviews with the media saying “I’m from Chechnya,” and others are even showing off their Russian citizenship and background in Russian intelligence. At this point they ain’t even trying to hide it anymore.

If they are crossing the border, then they are invaders.

If they are not part of an organized army, they are terrorists.

Either these are Russian soldiers acting under orders from the Russian Military, or they are terrorists.

Chechens loyal to Putin. That’s a sick note and not one that the pro-Putin posters here will like.
