Chechen Special forces confirmed street to street fighting in Mariupol.

I know it's Daily Mail... but it's accurate.

Feared Chechen special forces are fighting house-to-house in besieged Mariupol while 'hundreds' of women and children remain trapped in the rubble of a city theatre destroyed by Russian invaders.

Video said to have been released by pro-Putin Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov shows heavily armed fighters from the region pounding a high-rise building in the bombed-out city during a fierce gunfight with Ukrainian soldiers.

The propaganda video then cuts before showing some of the Chechen fighters emerging from the building with children in their arms while supposedly 'liberating' civilians.

3. The Chechens WILL fight the battle that Russian soldiers will not.

Ethnically different than Ukrainians, they have no divided loyalty here, only allegiance to Moscow and $$$$$. And they are brutal, barbaric soldiers, hardened into little more than killing machines. God help the Ukrainians.

4. Kill the parents. Steal the children for hostages?

5. It's really been 20 years since street fighting in Chechnya.

We'll see what happens.
