Participant Details
Original Note:
There’s no credible reporting that this is Rustam Azhiyev - with reporting from recent video footage having placed him in Ukraine rather than Russian. He is part of the Chechen armed forces & fought on the Ukrainian side of the war with Russia as part of Chechen forces. https://www.hudson.org/defense-strategy/ukraine-military-situation-report-march-20-2024-can-kasapoglu https://www.memri.org/jttm/ex-leader-syria-based-jihadi-group-commands-chechen-unit-fighting-ukraine-against-russia https://www.counterextremism.com/extremists/abdul-hakim-al-shishani
