Putin said that Ukraine was involved in the terrorist attack. According to him, the detained “suspects” are “heading to the Ukrainian border.”
Putin’s circle does not believe that Ukraine was involved in the terrorist attack in Crocus City. Bloomberg wrote about it on Tuesday, March 26, citing “four people with close ties to the Kremlin.”
“Although the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin says that Ukraine seems to be involved in terrorist attacks, those around him do not agree with him. The Kremlin elite is not looking for “Kyiv traces” in happened,” the publication wrote.
Putin attended the discussions, where Russian officials agreed: the terrorist attack had no connection with Kiev. However, he decided to use the tragedy “to try to rally Russians against the war in Ukraine.”
“However, almost no one in Russian politics and business believed that Ukraine was behind the attack,” the publication noted.
It has been suggested that Russian soldiers knew that the Islamic State was behind the attacks on the entertainment center, but after Putin’s comments they had no choice but to prove the involvement of Ukraine or the West.
Let’s recall that on March 22, in Krasnogorsk near Moscow, several armed men burst into the Crocus City Hall concert hall and opened fire on the guests. A fire broke out in the building. According to the latest data, 137 people died and 182 were injured.
The FSB later said that the terrorists were holed up in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation near the border with Ukraine, and that they were specifically traveling to Ukraine because “they have connections there.” According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, a window has been prepared for suspected terrorist attacks to cross the border into Ukraine.
Ukrainian intelligence said that the version disseminated by Russia that the perpetrators of terrorist attacks in the Moscow region fled to Ukraine does not stand up to criticism.
