Russian President Vladimir Putin has attributed the recent brutal attack at a Moscow concert hall to 'radical Islamists.' During a meeting with government officials, special services, and law enforcement agencies, Putin stated that the perpetrators of the crime were radical Islamists, emphasizing that their ideology has been a longstanding challenge within the Islamic world.
Furthermore, Putin raised suspicions about Ukraine's involvement in the attack, questioning why the terrorists attempted to flee to Ukraine after the incident. He insinuated that those supporting the Kyiv regime may have connections to the terrorists, although Kyiv has vehemently denied any association with the attack.
Despite ISIS claiming responsibility for the massacre and releasing graphic footage of the incident, the Kremlin has alleged, without concrete evidence, that the attackers had planned to escape to Ukraine. Putin also mentioned that a 'window' had been prepared for the attackers to flee to Ukraine, without providing any substantiating proof.
The Russian President expressed a keen interest in identifying the instigators behind the attack and ensuring justice for the victims. The situation remains tense as conflicting narratives emerge regarding the motives and perpetrators of the heinous act.
