4. He Conducted a Genocidal War in Chechnya

Russia’s disastrous war in Chechnya has witnessed butchery and savagery on a scale and intensity recalling World War II. During both invasions of Chechnya, massive formations of Russian tanks, artillery, and aircraft pounded Chechen cities and towns to charred ruins, killings tens of thousands of people. Russian troops indiscriminately attacked towns and villages, killing and raping civilians, pillaging and burning homes. Putin gave a free hand to the Russian military to indiscriminately strike terror into the heart of the Chechen population, killing tens of thousands of civilians, including children, bombing refugee columns, and making all males aged 12 to 64 to go through the horrendous “filtration camps.” Human rights and the laws of war appear meaningless to Putin’s Russia. Since then, Chechnya has endured years of guerrilla war and government security sweeps in which thousands of people have been killed or disappeared. The conflict has spilled into neighboring republics in southern Russia, destabilizing an already precarious region.
