He also urged to stop “advertising your information product to Caucasians.”
Kadyrov noted that the Russian media do not cover crimes committed by people of other nationalities, but they deliberately select news feeds in which Caucasians appear. “Such a dirty trick can lead to irreparable consequences,” the head of Chechnya added.
