The body of a teenager accused of killing a police officer was put on display in a square in Chechnya

In Achkhoy-Martan, where an attack on traffic police officers had previously taken place, the body of the attacker was put on display in a square for everyone to see. The Baza Telegram channel reports that the teenager's body was taken to the city street and to the local administration building. Presumably, this is Eskerhan Khumashev.

Video recordings from the scene show citizens gathered, among whom were probably the relatives of the deceased. Earlier, the Chechen State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Grozny" in a special report from a meeting of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov published a photo of a 17-year-old boy who attacked law enforcement officers and was eliminated by return fire.

Recall that on April 7 in the city of Achkhoy-Martan, a local resident attacked a traffic police post with a knife. Two police officers were stabbed, one of them subsequently died. A criminal case has been opened on the fact of the incident under Article 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the encroachment on the lives of law enforcement officers.

Ramzan Kadyrov reported that the actions of the killer were allegedly directed by some people in Turkey and a citizen of Ukraine. He also ordered the eviction of relatives of those involved in the attack from the region and the confiscation of their property.

Ruben Vardanyan Drops Appeal Against 20-Year Sentence in Azerbaijan

Billionaire and former Nagorno-Karabakh state minister Ruben Vardanyan, sentenced in Baku to 20 years in prison, rejected the legal force of the ruling and dropped his appeal. His family explained that this decision stemmed from the fact that, in their view, the trial was a "staged performance" rather than a proper trial: the hearings were held behind closed doors, without access to independent observers, and the prosecution's motions were ignored. The full text of the verdict was also not released.

Chechnya Leads in Lowest Alcohol Sales
25 February 2026

In 2025, residents of the North Caucasus regions consumed the least amount of hard liquor in Russia. The lowest official retail sales figures were recorded in Chechnya (0.01 liters per capita). Other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District also demonstrated modest figures: Ingushetia - 0.7 liters, Dagestan - 2.2 liters, Kabardino-Balkaria - 2.6 liters, North Ossetia - 3 liters, and Karachay-Cherkessia - 3.4 liters. Experts attribute this decline to the prevalence of cultural and religious restrictions, as well as a preference for low-alcohol beverages.
