I am from that region I can elaborate, you said "I highly doubt..." rightfully so, their families aren't being held hostage yet, but they will be if anyone of those 10000 soldiers disobeys going to war. The problem is you don't know the actual situation there, Ramzan Kadyrov is not your regular tyrant or dictator, I wish he was more like putin or kim jong un, but he is far worse in terms of dictatorship, he is like vlad the impaler, but to his own people. Whole families are being killed, kidnapped, their women raped, daily. The problem is those things arent talked about on western media except if it is about torture of LGBT people. You have no idea how afraid people are over there, even giving a "thumbs up" on a social media post against kadyrov is dangerous, even I writing from an "anonymous" account living in the eu, am afraid that they might somehow link this comment to me, because if they can't get me they will get my aunt, uncle or cousins and torture them until I show up. Now of those 10000 people, there are probably some who are going willingly, but the majority have no choice, however I hope they get their asses handed to them, and most chechens aswell, because that will directly weaken kadyrov.
