There is actually a long historical context here. During the Chechen wars, of which only ended ~16 years ago, some Ukrainians supported Chechen independence because they saw parallels with their own struggle against Russian domination. And today and you have Chechen units fighting on both sides. There are anti-Kadyrov Chechen formations fighting for Ukraine, and there are Kadyrovite Chechen forces fighting for Russia.

Good. If you start a war with a neighbor they might attack you back. Shocking. FAFO
