“Pompeo, we are taking the fight!” It will be more interesting further! ” - Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram channel, accompanying the message with emoticons and a photograph.

Earlier, Secretary of State Pompeo said that the State Department put Kadyrov on the black list.

It follows from the order that restrictive measures are introduced “because of Kadyrov’s involvement in serious human rights violations in the Chechen Republic”.

The Russian Foreign Ministry commented on this decision.
