According to a video interview with Separatist troops they've claimed the cechens are near useless and are just there to shoot at empty buildings and terrorize civilians
I mean, that's what Chechens do, so no surprise there. But they just seem to have so much damn fun doing it!
I haven't seen any other troops unload tens of thousands of rounds of ammo into likely-empty buildings while Allahu Ackbar'ing and cheering yet.
Also, people need to stop sperging out for either side in this retarded war. It's the Ukrainians backed by "Globohomo", literal Nazis, and corrupt politicians vs. Russia, run by an ex-KGB spook, unleashing crazy, murderous Jihadis as footsoldiers, and backed by corrupt politicians.
Neither of these sides are good. Both are nuking the other sides' civilians, killing PoWs, and generally commiting various war crimes.
All we can really do is watch and try not to take it to seriously.
At the very least, the mental image of a bunch of camo-wearing Gopniks gleefully digging trenches in the radiation-saturated
Chernobyl soil and likely saying shit like "Our opponents are fucking stupid! They don't even dig fortifications here!" cracks me up everytime.
