According to Interfax, earlier the BBC published a video with Kadyrov, which was accompanied by captions in Russian. According to the publication, the president of the republic allegedly called for punishing, including "killing, imprisoning, scaring," those who "violate the consent between people, are engaged in gossip, contention."

“I was not at all surprised to read the BBC libel. They cannot do otherwise. I don’t remember a single instance when the BBC or other media in the UK, France, Germany or the USA objectively wrote something about the events in Chechnya, ”Karimov told the agency.

He noted that "everything is used in the course - from fraud to outright slander."

“The translator of the broadcasting corporation knows the Chechen language as well as I speak Tahitian ... The words that we will put things in order in the republic, stop those who fan enmity, sow lies, are perceived by these" well-wishers "as they would like ", Said the spokesman for the head of Chechnya.

As the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov noted while talking with reporters, he didn’t see the original speech of Kadyrov’s speech, and it’s impossible to take media material for the source.
