Was it Kadyrov’s henchmen?: Head shot at Russian soldier with skull trophy

It was an extremely disgusting performance! The Russian soldier Igor Mangushev stands on a stage and speaks into a microphone. In his right hand he holds a skull like a trophy. “Let him burn in hell! He wasn’t lucky. We’ll make a chalice out of his skull,” says the Russian about the dead man. As he claims: a Ukrainian soldier from the Azovstal Steel Works in Mariupol.

Now Mangushev was out of luck, as reported by several Russian Telegram channels. The Putin soldier was taken to the Stakhanov hospital in the Luhansk region on the night of February 4 with a serious head injury.

But the incident did not happen at the front. He was shot in the head at point-blank range at a checkpoint. Probably with a pistol, caliber 9 mm.

Mangushev’s condition is described by doctors as “stable severe, with a negative trend.” It is still unclear who shot him and why. However, witnesses report calls of “Achmat sila” – the battle cry of the henchmen of Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov (46).

The Russian occupiers are demanding that the authorities “investigate the circumstances of the incident by the competent authorities who are informed and are working on the ground”. But if it turns out that they really were Kadyrovites, the case could quickly be filed. It was not until the end of January that Kadyrov’s nephew and his gang raped a Russian propaganda reporter, whose broadcaster then demanded an investigation. Nothing happened.
