Kadyrov decides to open account with Russia Bank
MOSCOW. March 21 (Interfax) - Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has ordered the opening of an account with Russia Bank included in the United States' sanctions list.
"The decision over the sanctions with respect to the bank shows it is a reliable bank, if the U.S. does not like it. So I've ordered an account to be opened with the bank immediately to have my salary transferred to the card," Kadyrov wrote on Instagram.
The Chechen leader also said he decided to offer to the bank's top management to open a branch in his republic.
"I am certain Russia Bank, of which few have known until recently, will see its business perk up," Kadyrov added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday he will open an account with the bank as early as next Monday.
