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.
