Russia does not intend to comply with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling requiring Georgian citizens to pay over 250 million euros, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated. When asked about the possibility of improving Russian-Georgian relations if the payment were made, Peskov noted that the Kremlin views this issue as a separate matter.

State Duma deputy Mikhail Matveev apologized to the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. He posted a video message with his comment on Tuesday, January 23, on his Telegram channel.
Earlier, on the stream “Migration and Islamization of Russia,” the deputy predicted a clash between Russians and Muslims. “In Russia there is a serious clash between two civilizations: Russian and Islam. Muslims are not satisfied with Russian civilization, both in its secular form and as Orthodox. When the SVO ends and half a million of our guys return from the front, then the main clashes will begin,” he said.
After this, Kadyrov proposed to “kick out” Matveev. “Today our soldiers serve on an equal basis with representatives of various faiths and nationalities in the Northern Military District zone. And in the rear, you see, Matveev is talking about how to divide them into non-Muslims and Muslims after the North Military District and get rid of the latter in order to avoid provocation,” the head of Chechnya wrote in his Telegram channel.
Matveev himself, apologizing to Kadyrov, justified himself by saying that he meant “those terrorists, shaitans, as you call them, with whom you fought in your republic, and who were defeated there. And with whom we are now fighting in a special military operation.”
