In the United States has imposed sanctions against the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov. The reason for the sanctions, as stated by the head of the US state Department Mike Pompeo, constituted serious human rights violations in Chechnya. In addition to the Kadyrov in the "blacklist" of the United States were his wife and two daughters. Now none of them has the right to visit the United States.
