Kadyrov has now claimed that "warriors from the Chechen Republic, together with the people's militia of the LPR and other Russian power units, completed the total cleansing of Severodonetsk."
Total cleansing, how very Nazi of them.
He added: "The fighters moved on to the next stage - a more thorough random check of individual urban objects."
Is anything not shattered, that we can steal or rape?
Kadyrov also stated: "The fighters know their business very well and therefore act with composure inherent in professionals."
IOW, they make sure that the cameras are off, and only ship stolen goods back in diplomatic pouches.
And leave 10% for the big guy.
Newsweak jumped the gun along with Kadyrov on this one.
You interpreted his words accurately but maybe a bit understated. The Donbas occupied towns have been turned into Orwellian Hell Holes.
