“We have an interesting offer for our guest. “We have prisoners we have arrested near Donetsk and Luhansk,” Kadyrov said, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
“I will give the list to our guest. If they remove the sanctions against my mother and my daughters, people and horses who have done nothing wrong, and add a pinch of sanctions against me, then we will extradite these people,” he added.
Ritter, now known as an author and commentator, previously served as an intelligence officer in the Marine Corps.

He was also a U.N. weapons inspector and a vocal critic of U.S. policy in Iraq under President George W. Bush, who ordered the invasion under the false pretext of a threat from weapons of mass destruction.
In 2011, Ritter was convicted of a sexual offense after he stripped and masturbated online with a police heron posing as an underage girl. He was released on parole in September 2014.

Blacklisted since the annexation of Crimea
Kadyrov, considered a loyal ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was blacklisted by U.S. authorities long before Russia’s attack on Ukraine and has been linked to human rights abuses, particularly the kidnapping, extortion and imprisonment of journalists and activists brought.
Last May, Kadyrov announced on the social network Telegram that he had managed to get back a horse confiscated in the Czech Republic due to EU sanctions imposed in 2014.
According to the Chechen leader, his stallion was stolen from a stable in Litoměřice by members of the Ukrainian intelligence service, who sold it back to him for $18,000 (about 391,000 crowns at the exchange rate at the time), cooperating with the Czech police.

Kadyrov previously estimated the horse’s value at at least ten million dollars (about 224 million crowns). According to the Czech police, an unknown perpetrator stole the brown horse from a stable in Krabčice near Roudnice nad Labem in Litoměřice at the beginning of March.
The stallion has been subject to the sanctions regime since 2014 due to the Russian annexation of the Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula, and the Chechen leader could not handle the animal in any way.
Kadyrov’s mother also faces sanctions. “The borders have fallen, I will do anything,” rages the Chechen leader
