Brief retelling from RIA II
Australia has expanded sanctions against Russia, including 33 individuals, 35 organizations and 38 vessels on restrictive lists.
Among the organizations against which sanctions were imposed was the Regional Public Foundation named after Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov.
Ramzan Kadyrov recommended that the Australians send diplomats to Chechnya so that they could evaluate the activities of the fund, as well as to Gaza so that they could see for whom the Palestinians were suffering.
GROZNY, September 26 - RIA Novosti. The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, commenting on Australia’s sanctions against the Regional Public Fund (RPF) named after Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, said that the Australians could at least make inquiries about the organization’s activities before pleasing the West.
Previously, Australia expanded sanctions against Russia, including 33 individuals, 35 organizations and 38 ships in the restrictive lists. The Kadyrov Foundation was also included in the list.
“You there in Australia, before you please the West, at least make inquiries yourself - after all, there is a whole state on a separate continent. They should send ambassadors to our republic so that they themselves can see, evaluate, check what the Foundation is doing, and talk to those who were helped,” Ramzan Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram channel.
He also recommended that the Australians send diplomats to Gaza to see why the Palestinians are suffering.
The head of Chechnya noted that his mother, ROF President Aimani Kadyrova, is “the most sincere and kindest person.” According to him, she is embarrassed even to be photographed and it is difficult to force her to get out of the house somewhere.
“The list of support provided to those in need is too long, so I will now only mention the recent assistance to the residents of the Gaza Strip, where as many as three full-scale humanitarian actions took place, covering millions of disadvantaged people. Should Muslims in Gaza die of hunger and cold? I don’t see any other reason: sanctions were introduced deliberately for humanitarian assistance in Gaza,” he wrote.
