He noted that "there is legislation in Russia that strictly regulates the possession of firearms."

Peskov explained that “if the possession of a firearm is a Russian citizen, and it does not matter who you are - an ordinary citizen, governor or president - if you own a weapon in accordance with the law, and if it is registered and you have the right to keep or carrying this weapon, there is no problem with that. "

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike 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”.

Kadyrov later reacted to this statement by Pompeo.

“Pompeo, we are taking the fight!” It will be more interesting further! ” - said the head of Chechnya in his Telegram channel, accompanying this post with a photo with a weapon.

Kadyrov also invited Pompeo to his ancestral village.
