The Ichkeria OBON is an all-Chechen volunteer unit that is part of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion and the armed forces of the Ichkerian government, the exiled government of Chechnya. The unit views its fight in Ukraine as an extension of the Chechens’ centuries-long struggle against Russia, aiding Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. 

  

Key Points: 

  1. Ichkeria OBON is a Chechen volunteer unit that is part of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion and is affiliated with the exiled government of Chechnya, which is vying for independence from Russia.
  2. The Chechen people have a long history of conflict with Russia, stretching back to the times of the Russian Empire. They have a strong warrior culture, which was fortified under Soviet oppression, and declared their independence when the Soviet Union collapsed.
  3. The unit supports Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, viewing the war as an extension of their own struggle against Russian occupation. Ukraine’s parliament has officially recognized the Russian genocide and occupation of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
  4. Akhmed Zakayev, the leader of the unrecognized government of Ichkeria, ordered the creation of the Ichkeria OBON, which has pledged allegiance to the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and is recognized as its “armed wing”.
  5. Despite being a relatively new unit, Ichkeria OBON plays a significant role in the conflict and its members are prepared to continue their fight against Russian occupation, even beyond the war in Ukraine.
