Why Are Chechens Fighting On Both Sides In Ukraine?

Chechnya is a tiny corner of Russia. It's been in the news recently as several tens of thousands of Chechen forces working as Russian paramilitaries alongside Russian forces as part of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine which started last week. In this video I'll explore the context of the First and Second Chechen Wars as well as the deployment of Chechen fighters serving both the Ukrainian and Russian armies in the Donbas region and more recently throughout the country.
