In 1999, the Russians erased the capital of Chechenia, Grozny. But three years before that, Russia signed a peace treaty with the Chechens.
They lost the war and needed a break. They did that only to come back and kill up to 300,000 Chechens, 25% of the entire small but proud nation that simply wanted freedom.
This is how peace talks with Moscow always end.
That is why Ukraine doesn’t want talks, until Russia leaves its land. That is why we are all asking for arms.
Incidentally, the 1st Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev was killed by a Moscow missile during a telephone conversation on April 21, 1996. They calculated his location and killed him, pretending to negotiate.
In 1995, he said in one of his interviews: “Russia will eventually face Ukraine. Russia will fall when the sun of Ukrainian freedom rises.”
Dudayev knew this 28 years ago.
