The British Embassy in Georgia responded to Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze's statement that London should apologize for a "fake" spread by the BBC. This refers to the British Broadcasting Corporation's controversial report alleging that Georgian authorities used a World War I-era chemical weapon called "kamit" to suppress anti-government protests.
In April, an ex-policeman from North Ossetia, Vadim Tekhov, who killed his ex-wife, was pardoned by presidential decree as having served in Ukraine for six months in the Storm Z unit. This explains the fact that the relatives of the victims saw him walking freely on the streets of Vladikavkaz.
According to media reports, in the NVO zone, the command saw in Tekhov an executive fighter who performed assigned tasks and received departmental awards. He was also nominated for state awards, the decision on the appointment of which will be made in Moscow.
Recall that in 2019 Tekhov was sentenced to 16 years for the murder of his ex-wife. However, in the fall of 2022, the killer was released to participate in the war against Ukraine. In November, it was reported that he was detained for drug distribution in the Donbass. However, now he has returned to his native Vladikavkaz.
