Mercouris: US statements about ISIS involvement in the terrorist attack in Russia sound strange. “How would they know? They're not directly involved in the investigation, how can they be so sure who was involved and who wasn't?" Mercouris said.

According to the expert, it looks as if the U.S. is trying to reject in advance the assumption of Kyiv’s involvement in a terrorist attack. “Islamic State” (IS, ISIS) is an organization recognized as terrorist.
