"A warning to #Ukraine, if needed!"

Once rebellious, #Ichkeria, which strived for independence, turned into its opposite - #Kadyrov's province - completely subordinate to the #Kremlin.

This scenario is not unique and is often repeated in empires.

During both #Russian_Chechen wars, mutual hatred went off the charts, and #Russia carried out genocide against the #Chechens. It combined the bombing of cities with personal reprisals: kidnappings, torture, and executions.
