Kadyrov: Gabuniya Should Be Hidden Behind 7 Fences as He Deserves What's Coming

Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov has labeled Georgian host Giorgi Gabuniya a "thug" after he insulted Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel: "He is neither a son of the Caucasus, nor a man, nor a mountain dweller. Gabuniya is a coward by nature and a genderless creature. It’s a shame for Georgia and its people," Kadyrov stated.

Kadyrov believes that the incident was not initiated by the journalist, but rather planned by the television channel or some interested parties, otherwise the live broadcast would have been cut. He also suggested that the host has insulted the Russian people along with Putin.

Kadyrov demands that the President and Prime Minister of Georgia publicly apologize, and that a criminal case be initiated against the host. He warned, "Otherwise, in 3 days, all roads leading to Georgia should be closed. Gabuniya should be hidden behind 7 fences, as anyone who encounters him will do what he deserves."
