Top suspect in Russian opposition murder wounded in Ukraine

Chechen rumored to be main suspect in killing of liberal Russian politician is recovering in hospital

Ruslan Geremeev, a Chechen fighter long suspected of involvement in the 2015 killing of liberal politician Boris Nemtsov, has been wounded during the fighting in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, but is recovering in hospital, the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov revealed on Tuesday.

It was Geremeev’s unit that put up the Chechen flag on the Mariupol city hall last week, Kadyrov said on his Telegram account. The Chechen commander was wounded “during the continuing fighting for the city” and ended up in the hospital.

“On my way to Mariupol I visited my dear brother and personally saw that he was not in mortal danger. He is on the mend and will soon be back in the ranks,” Kadyrov added, calling Geremeev “a real soldier and true patriot.”

Geremeev was never formally accused of involvement in the February 2015 death of Nemtsov, a liberal politician who was gunned down in Moscow while walking along the river with his Ukrainian girlfriend. Russian investigators sought to interview him in relation to Nemtsov’s murder, which a Moscow court in June 2017 ruled had been a contract killing.

Five Chechens were sentenced to prison for carrying out the hit, but the person who commissioned it was never identified. The US blamed Geremeev for Nemtsov’s death and placed him on the sanctions list in 2019, offering no evidence of his involvement.

Chechen units have taken part in the fighting for Mariupol, a coastal city in southeastern Ukraine which has long been held by “Azov,” the Ukrainian regiment openly using Nazi insignia.

Moscow reveals number of foreign mercenaries killed in Ukraine

Russian forces are continuing their efforts to track down and eliminate soldiers of fortune, the defense minister has said

The Russian military has killed some 600 foreign mercenaries during its military operation in Ukraine, while hundreds more have fled the country, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has stated.

The number of non-Ukrainian combatants fighting on the side of Kiev has recently been reduced via strikes launched against them with high-precision munitions, resulting in fatalities, Shoigu said during a video conference on Tuesday.

“Over the past two weeks, over 500 mercenaries have left the country and about 600 more have been eliminated,” the minister said, adding that the Russian military was “continuing its targeted efforts aimed at tracking down and destroying them.”

Speaking about the military operation in general, Shoigu said its primary aim in the first stage had been fulfilled, with “significant damage being delivered to the Ukrainian Army.”

Criteria for foreign fighters in Ukraine named

This allowed the Russian forces to focus next on liberating the breakaway Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

Russia has carried out several strikes on bases hosting soldiers of fortune in Ukraine since the start of the campaign.

An attack on the Yavoriv range in the western Lvov region in mid-March left up to 180 foreign fighters dead, according to the Defense Ministry, although Ukraine reported a much less significant death toll. Another strike targeted a Ukrainian Special Operations Forces training center in the northern Zhytomyr region, where more than 100 Ukrainian troops and foreign fighters were killed.

Moscow sent its troops into Ukraine in late February, following a seven-year standoff over Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

UK reveals conditions for lifting Russia sanctionsBoris does look crazy

PM Johnson says ceasefire not enough, Russia must “reverse course” in Ukraine

UK reveals conditions for lifting Russia sanctions

It will take more than a ceasefire in Ukraine for London to lift its sanctions against Russia, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told his cabinet on Tuesday, insisting that Moscow must fully alter its policy towards its neighbor.

Pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin “must be increased both through further economic measures and providing military aid to ensure Russia changes course completely,” Johnson told his ministers, according to his spokesman.

Foreign Minister Liz Truss had told the Sunday Telegraph earlier this week that sanctions “should only come off with a full ceasefire and withdrawal, but also commitments that there will be no further aggression.”

Johnson’s comments came as Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Turkey to discuss the “practical phase” of talks, according to Russian Deputy Minister of Defense Alexander Fomin. He told reporters that the parties are preparing an agreement on the “neutrality and non-nuclear status of Ukraine” and providing Kiev security guarantees in return.

As a sign of good faith, Russia intends to “drastically” de-escalate military activity near Kiev and Chernihiv in northern Ukraine, Fomin also announced. However, there was no talk of a ceasefire of any kind.

London and Washington have led the way in imposing a wide-ranging embargo on Russian goods, services, property, bank reserves, transactions, individuals, and government officials.

Though the US insists that “the world” has sanctioned Russia, the embargo has been limited to Washington’s NATO allies, plus Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
