Kadyrov rejected a summons to the Kremlin for reconciliation with Kerimov.
The head of Chechnya stated that no one summoned him to the Kremlin to reconcile with Suleiman Kerimov after his talk of a blood feud.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot," on January 30, the head of Chechnya posted a joint photo with Senator Suleiman Kerimov from Dagestan, whom he threatened with a blood feud amid the Wildberries conflict in the fall of 2024. In the caption, Ramzan Kadyrov called Kerimov his brother. The reconciliation between Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and Senator Suleiman Kerimov from Dagestan took place in the Kremlin, where both were invited by Putin, stated Ravil Gainutdin, head of the Russian Muslim Spiritual Directorate. Other sources also spoke of Putin's involvement in the reconciliation, calling the incident a commercial deal.
On October 9, 2024, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, speaking about the Wildberries conflict, mentioned Dagestan Senator Suleiman Kerimov and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov. He called on them to prove their innocence in the assassination order and warned them of his readiness to declare a blood feud against them. After Kadyrov's claims of a blood feud, Kerimov required protection from the Federal Protective Service. He was hiding in a secret village on Sparrow Hills in Moscow, journalists discovered in November 2025. The events that preceded the blood feud claim are described in the "Caucasian Knot" report "How the Wildberries Shootout Is Connected to Kadyrov."
Ramzan Kadyrov noted today that his handshake with Kerimov "is beginning to gather various theories." "I don't know if Ravil Gainutdin, Chairman of the Russian Council of Muftis, actually made the statement that the senator and I were specifically summoned to the Kremlin to reconcile, but that's not true. No one forced me or summoned me to the Kremlin for this," the Chechen leader noted. He added, however, that he "just needs to know Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's opinion to make a decision without delay."
Kadyrov assured that he and Kerimov "have always had friendly and businesslike relations." "Yes, there was some misunderstanding that required a personal meeting and a man-to-man talk, which is what we did when we met in Moscow. We decided to meet, talked, came to an understanding, and shook hands," he said.
"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on November 20, 2024, RIA Novosti published a video in which two men named former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev* from Dagestan as the author of the assassination attempt on Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. They reported that Gadzhiev* had promised them a large reward. Kadyrov and Kerimov have found a way to end the attempted murder story by attributing the authorship of the information to former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev*, Dagestani journalists have suggested.
