Pretty sure that is just PR and the actually most effective soldiers are the ones from the Donbas. Makes sense, as they have been fighting for years and they're fighting for their homes and families shelled by Ukraine.
Yes, I noticed that as well. One would expect pushing forward into Ukraine to prevent Donetsk form being shelled. Also, I never said that they are saints or anything - unfortunately, "revenge" is often exacted on the innocent.
But this is what Russians seem to believe. Considering that this is unlikely to be government propaganda, I don't find it unlikely. It also makes more sense than Chechens wanting to fight a war they did not ask for.
The Chechens in Ukraine are pumped up bodybuilders eager to prove their manhood and warrior prowess to their peers and to their Telegram audiences. They're at least claimed to be all volunteers while the People's Republics armies are full of conscripts drafted at checkpoints.
You misspelled Chechens.

Their front barely even moved. In some/many places just didn't.
They were the ones shelling homes too (plenty of Grads and other arty). And do it right now more then ever.
