The United States provided Russia with written information about the terrorist threat on the morning of March 7. “On March 7 at 11:15 am Moscow time, in accordance with normal procedures and through established channels that were repeatedly used by the previous US government, we transmitted a written warning to the Russian intelligence services,” White House spokesman John Kirby said.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that after the terrorist attack, the United States was “excusing” Ukraine, covering up Vladimir Zelensky.
