Footage out of Bakhmut shows pro Ukrainian Chechen troops of the volunteer Sheikh Mansur Battalion maneuvering on foot down contested city streets.
The Sheikh Mansur Battalion is an anti-Russian unit working with Ukrainian forces in order to help combat the invasion of Ukraine. The group was founded in 2014 at the onset of the conflict between Russian and Ukraine, and has since seen combat in Donbas, Mariupol, and Zaporzhzia. They also wage an insurgency against Russian government influence back in Chechnya.
