On January 6, Fortanga published a video in which a delegation from Ingushetia, including Khadziev, warmly welcomes Kadyrov at the wedding of a descendant of the Chechen Sufi sheikh Kunta-Khadzhi Kishiev. On January 9, Fortanga reported that Khadziev apologized for this visit due to the dissatisfaction of his teip. “I did the wrong thing by greeting and hugging him. Forgive me for the sake of the Almighty. I didn’t suspect that it would be so unpleasant for you,” the Telegram channel cited Khadziev’s words with a link to the audio recording.

Kadyrov called this “unworthy behavior,” wrote Fortanga . On January 12, the head of Chechnya addressed the Ingush people and demanded to justify what he had done wrong if they considered him an enemy. “And if it doesn’t work out, then you accuse me unreasonably, you try to hurt my honor and dignity. I assure you, I will not leave you so cheaply, I will try to ask you in full,” said the head of Chechnya. After that, Grozny-Inform published with Khadziev. “Khadziev declares that he admits his guilt and separately asks for forgiveness from the Head of the Chechen Republic,” says the description of the video.
