Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev stated that Ukraine stands behind the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall.
“Of course, Ukraine,” he said in answer to the journalist’s question whether Ukraine or the Islamic State terrorist organization, banned in Russia, stands behind the terrorist attack.
To remind, on the evening of March 22, a terrorist attack took place in the concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow. Several armed men opened fire on the people in the hall and then set fire to the building. According to the latest data of the Investigative Committee of Russia, 139 people were killed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the terrorists were moving toward Ukraine after the operation, where the Ukrainian side had prepared a “window” for them to cross the border.
