VLADIMIR PUTIN is potentially facing a new civil war in the Caucasus after Chechen rebels said they were preparing for further hostilities in the region.
Russia was involved in two bitter wars in Chechnya during the 1990s and early 2000s after Chechen separatists pursued independence from Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The First Chechen War took place between 1994-1996 under President Boris Yeltsin and resulted in a humiliating defeat for Russia. Then in 1999, Putin once again sent in the troops to crush Chechen rebels in a brutal campaign which saw Chechnya's capital Grozny raised to the ground.
Akhmat Kadyrov, a local warlord who had switched allegiances from the rebels to Moscow, was put in charge as President of the Islamic Republic until his assassination in 2004.
He was succeeded by his son Ramzan Kadyrov, who has remained in power ever since and proved a loyal supporter of the Russian president.
Kadrov has sent his soldiers to fight for Putin in Ukraine, providing much-needed manpower for Russian commanders.
However, Chechen rebels have formed their own battalions that are fighting for Ukraine.
One such unit is named after Sheikh Mansur, a legendary Chechen commander and Islamic leader who fought the Russians during the late 18th century.
Islam Belokiev, a spokesman for the battalion, said in a recent video address that Chechen rebels were preparing for new hostilities in their homeland.
He claimed that the rebels had been working with local populations to find out information about Russian troop numbers and movements, as well as types of armaments and quantity of weapons.
Mr Belokiev said: "We know the enemy’s positions, where Russian military bases are."
Then in a stark warning to Putin, he ominously added: "If Chechnya trembles, Russia will collapse."

Idiots here on the same side as Joe and Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Willard Romney and every other Liberal World Order gangster you can name deserve every "Great Reset" crimes against humanity those gangsters have in the works for them.
The rest of us don't, but they do.
Arm those who rebelled against you. It’s the communist way
And people comment on Zelensky’s manhood
Gee ya think?
Putin is still upset by the fall of communism. He wants the return of glory
I am rooting for casualties.
The latest Christopher Steele Dossier in the British media...LOL
If true (and it is highly questionable that it is), would anyone be surprised this was part of the CIA’s handiwork?
Soros could be right on Ukraine for all the wrong reasons. He is a grifter POS but just because I disagree with all of his political views I agree we should support Ukraine against the brutal Russian invasion.
That is the issue.
BTW I bet Soros also believes the world is round and 2 plus 2 equals 4. Because I dislike the man I dont believe the world is flat and the answer is 5.
You’re a Soros lover. That’s all I need to know about you, just like you smear me with “Putin lover” idiocy when the situation is a whole lot more complicated than air—headed weirdos like you want to admit.
I’m with you. Tired of trying to decide which is least evil.
Of course the CIA is involved.
If only the BiXiden Crime Family weren’t on the Ukraine gravy train.
It’s just more tabloid trash meant to keep the British public from knowing what a disaster Boris helped create....”Look! Ukraine is working! The Chechens are rising up against the evil Ruskis!”
The simple lesson is don't vote for democrats or RINOs.
Trump/DeSantis 2024!
This article is 100% fake, like virtually everything else you post on this area.
Kadyrov is toast after Putin croaks. LOL!
When you look around to see who is on your side, and you find the Bitem admin, all the Dems, American "news" media and the UK media, you might want to think again.
But, they won't.
And, you’re fine with the CIA sticking its nose into the business of other nations, even if it destroys those nations like it has in Ukraine.
Putin has got to go get some Siberian Buryats. Recruit them to kill Kadryov and other Chechen honchos. In a gun and knife fight my bet is pint sized Buryats over Chechens.
