This section is dedicated to the Chechen battalions fighting on the Ukrainian front against the Russian invasion.

Here you will find updates, reports, interviews, and verified information about the activities of the Sheikh Mansur Battalion, the Dzhokhar Dudayev Battalion, and the OBON (Special Purpose Battalion), operating under the banner of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty.

These units are not only part of the Ukrainian defense — they are the living resistance of a people who have never surrendered. Fighting for Ukraine, they continue the struggle for the freedom of Chechnya.

“Ukraine is our present front. Ichkeria is our cause. Victory is one.”
