French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken out against attempts to blame Ukraine for the recent terror attack in Moscow. Macron emphasized the importance of not allowing the attack to be manipulated for political purposes.
Macron expressed solidarity with the Russian people in the wake of the 'Islamist terror attack' and offered French assistance in providing intelligence related to the incident. He stated that France and its allies believe the attack was carried out by an entity linked to the Islamic State (ISIS), although he did not specify which specific group was responsible.
Macron highlighted that the same ISIS entity had been involved in attempted attacks on French soil in recent months, leading to an increase in France's terror threat level. He underscored the need for vigilance and cooperation in combating terrorism.
Russian President Putin had suggested that the attackers were heading towards the Ukraine border before being apprehended. However, ISIS had already claimed responsibility for the attack. Ukraine vehemently denied any involvement in the incident.
Macron's statements reflect a commitment to standing against terrorism and promoting international cooperation in addressing security threats. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges posed by extremist groups and the importance of unity in confronting such threats.
