BEKadyrov handed over the list of prisoners to former US Army intelligence officer Scott Ritter, who visited Grozny.

He was also shown a video in which Ukrainian prisoners were forced to ask the United States to lift sanctions against Kadyrov.

    I will give you an example of how sanctions work. My wife works in accounting for a major law firm. When lawyers in a sanctioned country (Russia) request to be paid for work performed, if my wife submits payment, their bank will block the payment. No matter how many times payment is submitted, the bank will not allow it to be sent.

    Banks essentially have a list of blocked accounts, people, and countries. If someone ends up on that list, they are screwed.
