The Ukrainian Armed Forces and its member Chechen separate special purpose battalion (OBON) will begin to carry out sabotage raids and operations in the Russian Federation. This will continue until the territory of the independent state of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is liberated. This statement was made by OBON commander Rustam Azhiev, also known as Abdul-Khakim Shishani.

This task was also confirmed by Shamil Zakaev, the son of the head of the government of Ichkeria abroad, Akhmed Zakaev. “We will carry out sabotage operations until they completely liberate our lands and all Chechens illegally held in Russian prisons. Today this Kremlin gang is trying to hold fake elections. Just like thirty years ago, they held these so-called elections and began to realize their vile ambitions to conquer foreign lands,” Zakayev said.

Let us recall that last summer the Borz regiment under the command of Rustam Azhiev organized an attack on a Russian army truck marked “Z” in the Belgorod region.
