Motive

The Chechen genocide[12] refers to the mass casualties suffered by the Chechen people since the beginning of the Chechen–Russian conflict in the 18th century.[13][14] The term has no legal effect,[15] although the European Parliament recognized the 1944 forced deportation of the Chechens, which killed around a third of the total Chechen population, as an act of genocide in 2004.[16] Similarly, in 2022, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine condemned the "genocide of the Chechen people" by Russia during the First Chechen War and the Second Chechen War.
