Ukraine forces killed Chechen general Magomed Tushayev on Saturday at the Antonov International Airport (GML) northwest of Kyiv. Tushayev is responsible for the torture and murders of LGBTQ+ individuals in the largely Muslim region of Chechnya in Russia.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed his death, writing in a tweet that Magomed Tushayev, leader of the 141 motorized regiment of the Chechen National Guard, was killed!.

Illia Ponomarenko, a defense reporter for The Kyiv Independent, tweeted: Magomed Tushayev, one of Ramzan Kadyrovs top warlords, has been killed in action in Hostomel. Ukraines elite Alpha Group is reportedly fighting Chechens in the airfield.
Peter Tatchell, a British LGBTQ+ activist and human rights campaigner, told The Jerusalem Post that While I never rejoice at the killing of anyone, his death means one less mass murderer on the loose. Those who live by the sword should not be surprised if they die by the sword. This will mean that he is no longer able to abduct, torture and kill Chechen LGBTs and dissidents, which is is a good thing.
