British Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt called the terrorist attack in Moscow “horrific” but warned against unconditionally believing Russia’s claims about the shooting, Sky News reports.

A member of the British government noted that civilian deaths are appalling, “even when they happen in countries whose governments we strongly disagree with.”

“We can only hope that the culprits will be caught,” he added.

However, the minister rejected Russian claims about Ukraine’s alleged involvement in the terrorist attack. “We have very little faith in what the Russian government is saying,” he said.

The minister said that Russia is “creating a smoke screen of propaganda.” According to Hunt, he takes everything the Russians say with “a very large pinch of salt” (the minister used the phrase with a very large pinch of salt, which is used in English when they say that something should not be taken for granted unconditional).

Hunt, speaking about the potential terrorist threat, also said that the British public “must be vigilant.”

Let’s recall that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba was urged not to believe the words of the Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his henchmen about Kyiv’s possible involvement in the mass shooting at the Crocus City Hall.
