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.

Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, claims Russian lawmakers plotted his assassination over a corporate merger. The conflict stems from Wildberries' merger with Russ Group, termed an 'asset grab' by Kadyrov.

Ramzan Kadyrov has accused several Russian lawmakers of spreading lies and trying to kill him according to Russian media Chechen leader R

"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
