    Video: Neo-Nazi greasing bullets with pig fat to shoot Muslim Chechens

The National Guard of Ukraine's Twitter account released a video, boasting about Azov fighters greasing their bullets with lard to be used against Muslim Chechens on the Russian side. 

The video comes as a direct threat to Muslims who hold the Islamic beliefs that pig is prohibited for their consumption, and that it's impure substance.

The tweet captions, "Azov fighters of the National Guard greased the bullets with lard against the Kadyrov orcs," referring to Ramzan Kadyrov, who is the president of the Chechen republic.  

Chechnya is a Russian republic located north of Georgia with the Chechen forces in charge of defending the Muslim-majority republic. 

Kadyrov previously announced his readiness to send fighters to the current conflict in Ukraine in support of Russia. A number of sources have claimed that Chechen forces have marched towards Kiev after being deployed to Ukraine.

Earlier today, the Russian envoy to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said that Zelensky has shown his inability to withstand radicals in Kiev, emphasizing while adding that the real power in Ukraine belongs to extremists and Nazis, who have their own agenda. 

The Russian representative stressed that Zelensky has demonstrated that he is weak, notably as he does not display the political will and strength to contain the extremists who constitute the main political force in Ukraine today.
