The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that the US authorities are showing interest in his "business and bank accounts." He specified that members of Congress are concerned about relations between Chechnya and the UAE.
Kadyrov explained that the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation is funding several projects in Chechnya.
Congressmen who made a request to the US Department of State became interested in this issue. The response reads that the agency "will continue to collect information on the nature of Kadyrov’s business outside the Russian Federation."
The Chechen leader explained that with the support of the emirate’s fund, an international university is being built in Grozny and working places are being created.
According to him, human rights in Chechnya "are respected a hundred times better than in the USA," RIA Novosti reports.
