The Russian Embassy in Washington has stated that it did not receive any warnings from the US about a potential terror attack in Moscow. This information was shared by Ambassador Anatoly Antonov to Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. The US diplomatic mission had advised Americans to steer clear of large gatherings in early March due to reports indicating that extremists were planning to target such events in Moscow.
Despite these warnings, Russian President Putin dismissed them as 'provocative' and 'outright blackmail' during a meeting with the FSB. Antonov confirmed that the embassy did not receive any advance notifications or messages regarding the potential threat. He mentioned that there were no contacts with the White House or the State Department on this matter.
