Kadyrov calls his Ukrainian prisoner exchange for sanctions relief offer ‘trolling’

Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin’s puppet warlord in Chechnya, referred to his earlier proposal to lift U.S. sanctions on his family in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners-of-war as “heavy trolling” on Telegram on Jan. 5.
The day before, Kadyrov expressed readiness to exchange 20 Ukrainian prisoners for the removal of sanctions on his mother, wives, daughters, and children. He reportedly provided a list of prisoners for exchange to propagandist and convicted pedophile Scott Ritter, who arrived in the Chechen capital of Grozny.
Kadyrov then stated that he made this declaration to reveal the “true face of American politicians, for whom the lives of ordinary Ukrainians mean nothing.”
“Scott Ritter, unlike some, correctly understood this heavy trolling,” Kadyrov opined.
“And as for the sanctions, they don’t interfere with our lives in any way.”

The United States imposed personal sanctions on Kadyrov and some members of his family on Sept. 15, 2022. Affected family members include Kadyrov’s wives Medni, Aminat, and Fatima, adult daughters Aishat, Karina, and Tabarik, Kadyrov’s cousin Turpal-Ali Ibragimov, and several others. His mother was included in the sanctions list in August 2023.
