The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, posted in a telegram a video about the participation of the Chechen military in the capture of Mariupol, in which Ruslan Geremeev, an ex-officer of the Chechen battalion «North» of the National Guard, is present in the case of the assassination of politician Boris Nemtsov.
According to According to Kadyrov, Geremeev leads “his unit”, which “with the help of Almighty Allah repelled the Nazis and captured the administrative center [Mariupol].”
In the video, Geremeev says a prayer surrounded by fighters, and at the end he makes a speech in Chechen , ending with the words “Akhmat strength!”, while one of the fighters behind him discharges a burst of automatic fire into the sky.

Unknown killers of Nemtsov. What the investigation missed when investigating the attack on the politician
A lawyer for the Nemtsov family, Vadim Prokhorov, called Geremeev the real organizer of the murder, although the Investigative Committee put on the wanted list only his personal driver Ruslan Mukhudinov as a suspect in organizing the murder.
Geremeev himself was not interrogated in the case of the murder of Nemtsov: the investigator said in court that he knocked on the door of the Geremeevs' house, but no one opened it for him. Kadyrov himself called the suspicions of Geremeev's involvement in the murder of Nemtsov far-fetched: “Geremeev is absolutely, if you ask me, not to blame. Because it's made up.»
