Isa Munaev, commander of "Dudaev's Battalion", dies in Donbas

Isa Munaev, a former Chechen field commander and the leader of the "International peacekeeping battalion named after Johar Dudaev", who fought in Donbas as part of the forces of the antiterrorist operation (ATO), perished near the town of Debaltsevo.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that under Aslan Maskhadov, in the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Isa Munaev was the head of the Interior Ministry and the military commandant of Grozny. Later, in his own words, he immigrated to Denmark, where he lived for five years, and then came to Eastern Ukraine to fight for the ATO and created the above battalion named after Dudaev.

Munaev died on February 1 in a fight near Debaltsevo, where he arrived with his battalion to reinforce the ATO forces, Semen Semenchenko, a Ukrainian MP and commander of the battalion "Donbas", wrote on February 2 in his page on the Facebook.

"As an instructor, he provided a cover of the units retreating while fighting after successful completion of the mission," Amina Okueva, the press officer of the battalion, explained the circumstances of his death.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov suggested that Adam Osmaev (a native of Grozny, who was accused of plotting a terror act against the Russian President Vladimir Putin, – note of the "Caucasian Knot") and Amina Okueva had to do with the deaths of Munaev; and that they were acting "on behalf of the Security Service of Ukraine and CIA agents." "The decision to liquidate Isa Munaev was made after they made sure that he was a drunkard and unable to fight. Munaev has never been a warrior," Kadyrov wrote in his page on the Instagram.
