#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #Ukraine #Russia
I want to go fight for russia. Against Ukraine
Sadly the Western intelligence services have failed the Chechen resistance. A lot of their commanders were assassinated in exile by Russian or Kadirov agents and even during the Chechen war the West didn’t help
🕊⚘🤍🌏 i want to join Ukraine want fight for love
i am now scared for world war 3
How much are you paying them
Chechlear 2.0 incoming
One guy said which I cannot remember who and its bugging me.
Its all about who or what you are fighting for.
In this case. One side fights for their country’s peace, freedom and independence.
The other for a lunatic demented man.
Which side do you wanna die fighting for?
There are two types of Chechen people, the real ones whom some of them are fighting alongside Ukrainian soldiers and the fake ones or should I say Traitor Kadirov’s forces.
Thank you to these soldiers!! SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
Chechens are split, Chechens working with Russia and Ukraine.
Allah Hu Akbar☝️😇
❤️Ukraine ❤️💪win✌️Insha allah💯
Wololo
Chechen is with NATO🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
The title of this propaganda piece is very misleading (and purposefully so)… It should really read, “Chechen fighters and/or citizens fighting with Ukrainian forces…” Saying, “Chechen soldiers,” implies that the Chechens fighting for the Ukrainian side are somehow connected to the Chechen army (Kadyrov’s troops) which they are not. Chechen soldiers fight for the Chechen army (Kadyrov’s boys) and are steadfast in support for Russia.
Can’t trust Chechens.
these chechens will never go home, they are not welcome back.
what you mean now? they were one of the first voulanteers ever
Sure US not funding them ?
yes and there’s 80k chechens on the russian side, they’re divided, what’s your point?
Good.
So more people joking the nazi cause! Cool more people involved in genocide! Continue on until all that desire this war gets incinerated!!
Beginning of the war they were spray n praying into civilian homes specifically the chechnians…. They’re terrible soldiers and trying to play both sides smh…. Savages some of the worst i’ve seen in the past 7 months of coverage
Chechnya is predominantly Muslim. If they were fighting for a different cause their religion would have been called out and they would have been labeled unfavorably!!! the media bias.
Plenty of videos of Chechen soldiers commiting war crimes in the beginning of this war, stop showing them in a positive light, they are war criminals who joined Russia when flopped when Russia started getting whooped
How can I help from here in the USA I want to help you Ukraine take over Russia.
Chimaive is in Russia being held.
Anyone that believe NBC reports truth is just plain stupid! Ukraine is done! Expect a unconditional surrender soon! The US abandoned Ukraine! Truth you won’t hear on NBC
There was one of those Chechen dudes worked at my old carpenters yard, he used to pick up 30mm mdf sheets , like they were bits of paper, absolutely built like a tank, not once in his life been in a gym.
Great to see the Chenchen brave men fighting on the right side of history.
Why are they wearing masks and their faces blurred out? When I was in Iraq, I only wore a mask during the sand storms.
False news
Well, if true, which I highly doubt, then they would be regarded as traitors by the leader of the Chechen forces, who is110% with Putin.
Who cares ?
russia is losing the war, long live the western allies !
Thank you gentleman
amazing soldiering!
I wish someone somewhere can help them to sit down and make a peaceful settlement it’s only more sufferring and misery to life if keeps fighting against each others!!
I want to Chechen freedom too.
They’re the ex-ISIS terrorists who were fighting in Syria. They’re jihadists. That suicide truck bombing on that bridge in Crimea suddenly makes a lot of sense now.
Muslim extremist 😂😂😂
Don’t go against Russia Ukraine should have came to a discussion
Make your kinds up other day
They where wanting Russia to nuke folk.
Chechnya is divided, these soldiers support UA naSSi warriors since before. These are not Kadyrov’s soldiers.
They said not again and they’re fighting for what’s right
Glory to Ukraine and ALL its defenders.
there may be hope yet
“several dozens”
Kadyrow has 80.000 Chechens to join the war for Russia.
this are not real Chechens they are traitors of Chechns
Tired of hearing about these fake tough guys
Today Chechens needs a help of all the World. Russians destroying them and fighting against more than 400 years. Chechens are very brave and good nation. But they need our help.
Chechen soldiers are as good as Ukrainian. The end is near, russia.
When your raised under Communist rule you really don’t understand FREEDOM Americans do but the free everything WOKE has clouded rational thinking may GOD help all to see the truth before it’s to late . 🇺🇸 FREEDOM IS NOT CHEAP AND NOT WITHOUT BLOOD . THATS WHY WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION THE FOUNDING FATHERS KNEW WHAT WAS COMING . HiSTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF .
If the banks weren’t built for greed and the loss of the strength of real leaders you wouldn’t have this problem to start with . Long ago a man once said what we are trying to do here is making all these countries democratic! but what economic or financial plan is that when you have nothing to offer the people for it but having them work sh1t slave jobs then hiking all th prices up where they are living off of nothing it’s like working for free ? why Healthcare for everyone when you can only use it for that what a scam at the highest level
Look if NATO and the US government is involved are you fighting on the right side. Ask yourself ask GOD because New World Order is just around the Corner your Children’s and grandchildren life’s depends on your choice . It’s easy to let the devil in just ask a democrat 💰💰💰💰💰
Respect from Poland! Independed for Chechenya!
How is this not a world war our guys are there people from other nations are there we’re having a world war I decided to use a battlefield right now doesn’t mean it won’t eventually go to nuclear
I like chechen fighters… I like their moto.. If you can’t win switch sides
Most Russians believe their government’s propaganda that Chechens were butchers and murderers. It’s obvious that there was only one side of the story being told.
I hope they help the Ukrainians take back their country and then possibly the Ukrainians can help them liberate their land from the Russians.
It’s funny how the worst now fight alongside the Chechnyas, only 20 years ago they used to call them terrorist because they were fighting their Russian, and wanted what Ukraine wants today. I wonder what changed all the sudden and all of this love toward Chechnya.
Mossad and American mercs
Don’t believe that lie. Paid for by there governments
The Chechen Leader who supports Putin is the Puppet Leader that Putin had installed so there would not be a 3rd Chechen war against Russia after the first 2 (which Russia instigated) and which resulted in Russia murdering huge swaths of their population and the UN doing nothing in the way of dealing with the war crimes against civilians.
The same way Putin is getting away right now with War Crimes in Ukraine. Russia is in violation of the UN Charter and numerous Treaties it signed on to previously. Their seat at the UN and on the Security council should have been revoked when they invaded Ukraine.
The UN is proving useless once again.
Pray for peace 🙏🏼 War has no winners except for those making the weapons.
Rubbish
Fake news selling propaganda for democrats everyone in America knows this. Obama started this war and America is tired of democrats lies and corruption
Prove it
If Chechen Soldiers are forced to fight with Russians god i hope they take them out from the inside.
Everyone good in this world uniting to defeat evil Russia… god with us we will defeat evil
Paz al mundo Dios les guarde a todos nadie merece morir, por ideas equivocadas ..las ideas equivocadas traen malas consecuencias, pido por la paz de ambas naciones y del mundo . La guerra se terminaria si todos los humanos hecharia fuera sus armas , y envez de pelearse abrazarse y perdonarse . El problema de una nacion son sus lideres que envez de buscar la Paz . Se hacen la guerra Dios salve a la humanidad y traiga a todos al arrepentimento. Y restauren la paz. La paz esta en nuestras manos . Dios salve a la humanidad . No a la guerra .Paz al mundo.
Man. I wouldn’t want to be fighting the Chechens, they’ll skin you alive. Not because they’re sadistic, because they understand psychological warfare. Think Colonel Kurtz talking about the VC cutting off the arms of inoculated children.
NBC still sucks!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course I want people to live in freedom and not to be occupied by anyone. I am just scared that we are watching WWIII start and we are cheering it on.
Putin before killed many Chechens so don’t forget
is RT news back on youtube?
did RT won the court battle against google ?
🙂
God bless you guys
Good for them. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦💙💛💙💛 Praying for peace. I can’t believe pootin has not been demobilized yet . But soon hopefully.
This is the wwe of wars
“Never leave an enemy behind, or they will rise again and fly at your throat……… Shaka Zulu.
As a Muslim, I am proud of the Chechens that are helping to fight a common enemy. The Chechens helping Russia are snakes.
So this is why khamzat is stuck in Russia lol
Allying yourself with Chechens? Yeah Russia is going to Nuke them for sure now. So now our Enemy of the people media forgets that these fools are terrorists. NBC is applauding terrorists now that they are helping the criminals who use Ukraine as their personal money laundering front.
What are they gonna move and take Moscow to seriously don’t trust mainstream media they are stupid Russia is not losing as much as you think
What the heck? I’ve never been a subscriber to NBC and yet I just had to unsubscribe from it. Wth?
These Chechen soldiers are looking for an American payday !
They heard a about the billions that Zelenskyy receive every month !
They won’t give an amount because they are liars ! Of course the Chechen leader is backing Putin ! The entire world is not behind Zelenskyy, the smart people know that Zelenskyy is a puppet for nuclear war !!
How do you know that your stories are true?
They are a scary MF group .
Putin has brought Jews, Christians and Muslims together to fight as brothers. Let that sink in for a second.
What do jihadists, a neo nazi militia, and Hunter Biden have in common?
My kind of people, good hearted, fearless warioirs, and they say loud mouths inflick fear , I always disagree, silent good peeps inflick in silence, to protect against the bad, when you are fighting for the right to live blows are harder, rage rises with out fear, we humans all have the right to live specially the good ones, sallute to all good hearted warioirs,
Reminded me of the Great Muhammad Ali saying “I Have no Quarrel with the Vietnamese People”and with that he refused the Draft resulting his being dethroned as Boxing’s Heavyweight Champion status.
Thank you very much
Im glad the Chechens have joined the good fight
that was a news report do some actual work fill out the report
its NOT KEEV!
Usa propaganda lying and more lies
According to the Russian Government?
The Chechens who joined Ukrainian forces could just be spies for the Russians to reveal Ukrainians next target and layout plan. Come on guys don’t be that naive.
FAKE HOAX
There were always checens fighting for Ukraine. Not all of them root for that butcher Khadyrov.
Chechens fighting for Russia: “THESE RUTHLESS ORKS. TIK TOK WARRIORS. JIHADI EXTREMISTS!!!”
Chechens fighting for Ukraine: “These vanguards of virtue and courage are saviours and angles of humanity. May Ukraine bless them. Amen”
