UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt expressed skepticism towards the Russian government's claims regarding Ukraine's involvement in the Moscow Crocus City attack. Hunt stated that the UK government has 'very little confidence in anything the Russian government says' in this matter.
Following the attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged that the attackers attempted to flee to Ukraine, suggesting that a route had been prepared for them to cross the border. However, Hunt dismissed these claims, emphasizing that the Russian government is using propaganda to justify its actions in Ukraine.
