Putin faces second war front as Chechens threaten new offensive in Russia
Putin faces second war front as Chechens threaten new offensive in Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin could be facing a second war front as Chechen forces opposed to his war in Ukraine threaten to launch their own offensive.

Russian President Vladimir Putin could be facing another war front, this time on his own turf, as one Chechen battalion prepares a second offensive against Moscow, a spokesman for the volunteer fighting force in Ukraine said.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, volunteer Chechen forces joined the fight in support of Kyiv — fueling the flames to a long-held animus towards not only Russia, but Putin.
"We know the enemy’s positions, where Russian military bases are," Islam Belokiev, spokesman for the Sheikh Mansur Battalion, said in a video message obtained by Fox News Digital this week while announcing a plan to once again fight for Chechen independence. "We have divided the Chechen Republic of Icheriya into three fronts and 16 sectors."

It is unclear if the Chechen volunteer forces are strategizing with Kyiv by creating a second front, but Koffler noted that even if a second front is not fully launched in Chechnya, it could still strain Putin’s forces.
It would "at least make Putin and the Russians believe that they will have to divert their attention and take eyes off Ukraine, so Ukrainians could launch a counter-offensive," she said. "That’s very clever."
Commentary:
The Chechen warlords have seen the weaknesses in Putin’s invasion abilities, and they, the Chechens, have the ability to succeed with a second front, forcing Putin to go after them or continue in Ukraine, but he can’t do both.
We need to overthrow Putin by supporting the Chechen resistance. At least, bog Russia down in war for the next ten years until it is impoverished and collapses which would eliminate its ability to invade surrounding neighbors. Perhaps then a constitutional monarchy like Great Britain can be erected (Russians would need to vote) since there are members of the Romanov dynasty still alive.
Chechens have sought their independence. If they have adequate forces, I don't think that Putin & Kadyrov can handle 2 fronts. If their forces are too small, it's a suicide mission, as they won't get any overt backing from the West.
If Chechnya, Georgia and the Ukraine join together against Putin, this may cause defeat for Putin.
