Apti Alaudinov condemned a native of Chechnya who drove his car onto the beach

The commander of the volunteer formation "Akhmat", deputy chief of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the RF Armed Forces, Apti Alaudinov, called the Lexus driver, who was parked on the Mariupol beach next to the vacationers, a "sub-Chechen" and a "sub-man".

“If he had been among those who liberated Mariupol and other settlements of Donbass, and had seen the bodies of his comrades lying nearby, he would not have been such a nit,” Alaudinov said. He said that he conveyed the information to the leadership of Chechnya.

Earlier, a video appeared in which a native of Chechnya parked a Lexus on a sandy beach in Mariupol. Citizens called on the driver to drive away the SUV, but he refused. Later, the man told reporters that he was provoked into a conflict. He added that the “video without clippings” will show “who behaved rudely, called names, cursed and was drunk.”
