Putin and his watchdogs in Caucasus are advertising every day through mass media, how they introduce order, how they bring peace to Caucasian peoples. In two previous recordings on the internet, at the same [site] where this recording will be [posted], you will watch how three long-range bombers drop bombs on outskirts of our villages. After that you will also watch the destructions, that were inflicted by their bombardment. And after that, our Mujahideen are sent by me into those places, in order to collect these remains of their "gifts".

These are ball bombs, they are banned everywhere in the world. This is a ball bomb, it is left after every bombardment, it is Putin's "gift" for the Chechen people. This was collected in the territory of Nokhchicho (AKA Chechnya/Ichkeria), therefore I am elaborating, saying "Chechen people". This is a "gift", which he sends through his watchdog Kafyrov (Kadyrov) to this Chechen people.

These remains of their "gifts" explode instantly upon contact with a human or with hoofs of livestock, and people die and suffer because of it, especially during this time, during this season. Many from the poorest, the lowest section of the Chechen people, who gather ramsons, many times they have been blown up [by these things], and many times they have been suffering from these things. These bombs by themselves are banned by all civilized states in the world.

I am clearly demonstrating you how planes bombed, destruction in forests that is left after their bombardment, entire glades, and how we, Mujahideen, protect our people. These bomblets, remains, are collected by Mujahideen, brought [here], and here are some good specialists, insha'Allah, Allah will grant them Paradise for it, they defuse it, and then we bury it completely, so that it would not harm neither animals, nor [other] fauna, nobody.

Here are all those "gifts", that come to our lands, and all those praises, that are directed to us through television, you can see it. For example, these several bomb[let]s can cause irreparable harm. This single bomb[let] is capable of killing ten people. So let the people, the society, the so called society, see, with which gifts they have come to these lands and how they are doing it.
