Moscow attack: Russia “hopes that the French secret services are not behind it”. At least 144 people died and 360 were injured in this attack claimed by IS.
The Kremlin admitted that “radical Islamists” had been behind the attack, while denouncing Ukrainian involvement coordinated by the West. Paris had previously affirmed that, during this call, French Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu had "recalled France's availability" for "increased exchanges" with Russia.
