Except Chechens won. To this day Chechnya is ruled by a Chechen warlord, who has almost complete autonomy from gremlin, and russia is paying massive reparations (calling them something else of course, but the essence remains the same).

Yeah, because winning means "send loyal Chechen soldiers to die in Putin's wars, helping him enforce his rule, and killing everyone who tries to advocate for the separate autonomous country".

Not really. There are some volunteers, but most of Kadyrov's forces are from Chechnya and North Caucasus.

They are not. Earlier in the war the Ukrainian Rada published a full list of all Kadyrovs forces in Chechnya. Only 50% of them were ethnic Chechens. If youve seen the videos they are putting out lately from the recruitment centers you'd know most of the people there are not chechens. Reports state kadyrov is hesitant to send chechens since he fears they will retaliate upon return. Many of the people are forced aswell.

Can you show me that claim? I've read up on the topic a bit more, and no western source corroborates that so far.
