The US Ministry of Finance issued a statement in which it announced the inclusion of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and four other Russians in the so-called "Magnitsky List". Now he has been blocked from entering the territory of the United States, and assets in US banks should be frozen.

In Chechnya, the inclusion of the head of the republic in the regular sanctions list was regarded as a New Year's gift. "With the help of the State Department and the Ministry of Finance of the United States, Ramzan Kadyrov confirms his reputation as an outstanding hero and patriot of modern Russia," the words of the Minister of Chechnya on national policy, external relations, press and information, RIA Novosti's Dzhambulat Umarov,. But even more emotional was the reaction to this news of Ramzan Kadyrov himself, who wrote in his Instagram commentary about this, that now he has a sleepless night, and no sleeping pills will help. He was a bit mean that he had plans for forty years to "go to America, do business there, open bank accounts in Manhattan". And now, they say, because of the sanctions imposed on him in the United States, all these plans and good intentions will go to ashes. "Everything was spinning, it was spinning in my head, as if I was standing somewhere on the Florida coast, and a hurricane was coming from the Atlantic ... I could not see the Las Vegas casino and the billions stored in the Bank of America," Kadyrov ironically laments, USA with a cat who has nothing to do, and who, we all know, than, by proverb, is engaged in. The head of Chechnya upset Washington, saying that he would not have flown to the States, even if he had been promised for it "all the currency reserves of the country". Moreover, "the great Americans who are famous all over the world come to visit me systematically, and some plan to settle in Chechnya. And in the coffin they saw your sanctions, "- said Kadyrov. And if we talk seriously about human rights abusers (this is what is called the reason for the repression of the head of the Chechen Republic), then, according to the politician, it is necessary to look for them in the White House and the Pentagon. Kadyrov recalled the transatlantic authorities many cruel sins - "Africans, the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, millions of Vietnamese, the village of Songmi, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Belgrade".

Finally, the head of Chechnya said that he was proud that he so annoyed the US security services that they can not forgive him for having "dedicated his life to fighting foreign terrorists, among them were the mice of the American special services. In Chechnya, peace and stability. And the US pours blood all over the world! ".
