Three weeks after the ongoing feud between Wildberries CEO Tatyana Kim and her Kadyrov-backed husband Vladislav Bakalchuk escalated into a deadly shootout at the company’s Moscow headquarters, the Chechen governor has broken his silence.

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has declared a “blood feud” against three federal lawmakers from neighboring North Caucasus republics in his first comments on last month’s deadly shooting outside the Moscow headquarters of Russia’s largest online retailer Wildberries.

"There are witnesses, there are people from whom they tried to commission, whom they asked how much they would take for the order," Ramzan Kadyrov said in Chechen to other officials from the North Caucasian republic.

Kadyrov declared a blood feud on two politicians from Dagestan and one from Ingushetia in a move which has sparked fears of a major interethnic conflict in Russia
