Russia's Ramzan Kadyrov once again demanded that the United States lift sanctions against members of his family—and his horses—this time offering Ukrainian prisoners of war in exchange, Russian state media reported on Friday.
Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya and Russian President Vladimir Putin's loyal ally, made the offer via former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter, who was visiting Grozny, the capital of Chechnya.

"We have prisoners whom we took in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions," Kadyrov was quoted as telling Ritter, a former U.S. official and, more recently, a Russian media darling.
"I am passing on to our guest the list of prisoners of war. If they lift sanctions from my mother, my daughters, innocent people, horses, except for myself, then we will give up these people," the Chechen warlord added.
According to TASS, the state media agency, a video recording of captured Ukrainians was shown as the list was handed over to Ritter. Kadyrov allegedly went on to propose the release of 20 Ukrainian prisoners in exchange for the removal of sanctions against his relatives, planes and even his prized horses.
It is not immediately clear why Kadyrov decided to reach out to U.S. authorities via Ritter, a disgraced former UN weapons inspector and Marine Corps analyst, who is also a convicted sex offender. Ritter was guilty in 2011 of unlawful contact with a minor, among other charges, and served a year and a half in a U.S. prison between 2012 and 2014.

He has in recent years become a regular contributor to Russian government-owned media, including outward-facing outlets RT and Sputnik, often promoting Kremlin-friendly narratives and an anti-NATO agenda.

This is surely one of the most surreal moments of the war yet (VIDEO)
Scott Ritter has turned up in Chechnya and spoken in broken Russian (some of which I couldn’t make out) to thousands of Kadyrov’s fighters about his efforts to strengthen the "friendship between Chechnya and America"
Freaks like you are obsessed with Russia while we're this country is being ravaged by illegal immigration and while Biden unleashes the DOJ and FBI on his political enemies.
Looky who popped up in Chechnya!
It seems that you care, taking time to post on a thread you say you don’t care about.
Why aren’t you celebrating Orthodox Christmas right now? Hmmmmm….
Pedo Scott Ritter. No surprise.
Why aren’t you Russian cheerleaders talking about Avdiivka?
Wasn’t that supposed to be your latest victory?
If you’re not talking about it, guess it isn’t going so well for Russia, huh?
That Scott Ritter went to Chechnya, showed some man love to Kadyrov, and gave a pep talk to Chechen troops?
I guess you didn't' watch the VIDEO of the actual event then...
I didn’t think it was possible for Kiev and DC to get lower. But now they are literally horse thieves. LOL
Also, Putin is MIA from Orthodox Christmas midnight services right now in Moscow.
Ritter should stay there. Muslims don’t mind child molesters.
Very curious indeed...
Search still works!

Please don’t spam multiple zeeper posts of the same articles.
Zeepers have also reported Putin:
Dying of cancer
Frozen
and so much more.
Like the ten or fifteen posts in one day about egg prices in Russia last week. 🤦🏻♀️
And the Eastern Euro types on here whine when we say it looks like they’re trying to dominate this forum.
Well, they're zeepers, so.....
Second, no one cares
Third, the Ukraine Project is collapsing. The Putin has won.
Then stop demanding links if you don’t want to click on them for your ‘proof.’
Apparently, English is not your first language.
