“Those who see me tell me:“ If you and your family are on the list, then we are also on this list. ”They say that Kadyrov scared the Chechens. Never in our life can we be frightened and forced, "RIA Novosti quotes him.
At the same time, the head of Chechnya called on the American authorities to continue to invent "thousands of sanctions every day" against him.
Earlier, the United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the State Department had blacklisted Kadyrov. It follows from the order that restrictive measures are being introduced because of his "involvement in serious violations of human rights in the Chechen Republic." The wife and daughters of the Chechen leader also fell under the sanctions. Kadyrov said he was "accepting the battle."
The Russian Foreign Ministry has promised to find a way to respond to the sanctions.
