The rather unusual threat by Chechnya’s parliamentary speaker came amid U.S. domestic political efforts to approve weapon supplies to Ukraine to help the country battle Russian aggression, Ukraine Today reports.

Nevertheless, the first supply of non-lethal aid, Humvee military vehicles, arrived in Kyiv earlier this week.
