Statement from TASS today concerning there are no Chechen divisions in eastern Ukraine.

What is interesting is that of the 34 dead Russians that were sent back to Russia 18 were identified as Chechen from their IDs and photos on cell phones.
There are evidently another 32 Russian bodies still unrecovered near the airport.
But the Chechen irregular leader is arguing only "14" were known to have gone--BUT it was "on their own as they were not told to go"---although one of those killed in a video interview just prior to his death "claimed" he had been called and asked to go and he went.
Seems that someone's math/explanations do not add up.
