The United States warned Russia in advance about the possibility of a terrorist attack to prevent it and make it impossible for civilians to die.
The accusations made by Russia against other countries about their involvement in the terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall near Moscow are completely false. Ukrinform reported this on Wednesday, March 27, citing the statement of the spokesman of the US State Department, Matthew Miller.
“I saw these comments, as well as comments from President Putin, as well as comments from other Russian officials, saying that several countries were behind this terrorist attack . I think it’s clear that these statements are false,” Miller said.
He stressed that neither Ukraine, nor Great Britain, nor the United States, as claimed in Moscow, was behind the attack on the Moscow region.
The State Department spokesman recalled that the United States had warned Russia in advance of the possibility of a terrorist attack to prevent it and make civilian deaths impossible.
“Therefore, I would call these comments from many Kremlin officials irresponsible and cynical. And this is another example of how President Putin and the rest of his team are using a national tragedy to justify a illegal war against Ukraine,” he added.
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.
