Kadyrov called Suleiman Kerimov "brother" 15 months after threatening blood feuds.

The head of Chechnya published a joint photo with Senator Suleiman Kerimov from Dagestan, whom he threatened with blood feud amid the conflict around Wildberries in the fall of 2024. In the caption, Ramzan Kadyrov called Kerimov his brother.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on October 9, 2024, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, speaking about the conflict around Wildberries, mentioned Senator Suleiman Kerimov from Dagestan and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov. He called on them to prove their innocence in the order for his murder and warned of his readiness to declare blood feud against them. On November 20, RIA Novosti published a video in which two men named former State Duma deputy from Dagestan Magomed Gadzhiev* as the author of the assassination attempt on Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. They reported that Gadzhiev* promised them a large reward. After Kadyrov's claims of a blood feud against Kerimov, he required the protection of the Federal Protective Service. He was hiding in a secret village on Sparrow Hills in Moscow, journalists discovered in November 2025.

Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, publicly demonstrated the end of his conflict with Senator Suleiman Kerimov from Dagestan by posting a joint photo with him on his Telegram channel. In the photo, Kadyrov and Suleimanov are shaking hands, smiling broadly.

In the caption to the photo, Kadyrov reported that he met with Kerimov in Moscow and wished him "success in all his affairs and endeavors." He also called the senator his brother, capitalizing the word.

"I consider the people of Chechnya and the people of Dagestan to be brothers, just like us," he added. Earlier this afternoon, Kadyrov published a message stating that he was in Moscow and had met with the head of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation, Anton Vaino.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov, after Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's threats of blood feud against Suleiman Kerimov, recalled the senator's charitable projects and promised that the republic "will always support him in difficult times." The mayor of Derbent also spoke out in support of Kerimov. Videos recorded in support of Kerimov, including those prepared by public sector employees, were published in a specially created Telegram channel, "For our Suleiman!"

Kadyrov and Senator Suleiman Kerimov have found a way to end the attempted murder story by attributing the information to former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev*, Dagestani journalists have suggested. The events that preceded the blood feud claim are described in the "Caucasian Knot" report "How the Wildberries Shootout Is Connected to Kadyrov."
