Major Yehor Checherynda, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, noted that the Kremlin was directly involved in the conflict between the owners of Wildberries

He spoke about this on the Espreso TV channel.

“The shooting took place in the office of the Wildberries Marketplace company, which sells various goods. The value of this company before the war was about $13 billion. It operates in ten countries, except Russia. It has two owners, a man and a woman, Tatyana and Vladislav Bakalchuk. They began to sort out their relationship with each other, but what is important is that the Kremlin was directly involved in this conflict. The Kremlin decided to merge this company with another one and create a Russian Amazon,” explained Checherynda.

According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces major, billionaire and Putin's friend Suleiman Kerimov introduced Tatyana Bakalchuk to Putin. Putin approved the merger and the creation of a new company. But Tatyana's husband, Vladislav Bakalchuk, decided that he did not want the merger and wanted to keep his share. Interestingly, he did not go to court, but turned to Ramzan Kadyrov to help get his business back.

“Kadyrov hired a combat unit of Chechen fighters, and his wife Tatyana, for her part, hired an Ingush private security firm to guard the office. Recently, there was an armed conflict between Chechens and Ingush, which resulted in the deaths of two Ingush guards, seven injuries, including two police officers. This caused a huge scandal. In other words, there was a shooting in the center of Moscow, and Chechens stormed the Ingush.

All the participants in the conflict were taken to the police, and many criminal cases were opened, but all were released. According to the new law of the Russian Federation, all the detainees, mostly Chechens, because they were the attackers, have now asked to go to the so-called special military operation, to the front in Ukraine,” said Checherynda.

Yehor Checherynda came to the conclusion that the shooting in the center of Moscow is a criminal drama about the future of Russia. When businessmen in case of any conflict do not go to court, but appeal to Kadyrov or Kerimov.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces major also added that the story continued in Ingushetia, where the national shame of the Ingush was not forgotten when Kadyrov agreed with Putin to exchange territories. Chechen and Ingush leaders met in Moscow to discuss the shooting.

“They are still sorting things out. State Duma deputies, who are criminal authorities, met at the Aurora Hotel in Moscow. This story will obviously continue. I think that it significantly weakens the Russian authorities and ignites a new flame of conflict in the North Caucasus,” emphasized Checherinda.

  • Cyber specialists of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry attacked a number of Russian online resources involved in supplying the Russian army or tracking the movement of people in Russia.
