[HIGHLIGHTS] Zakharova: Western countries tried to play with words in statements about the terrorist attack in Russia

Zakharova: Western countries tried to play with words in statements about the terrorist attack in Russia. British analyst Alexander Mercouris called the premature statements by the United States about the alleged responsibility of the Islamic State* for the attack very strange.

According to the expert, it looks as if the U.S. is trying to reject in advance the assumption of Kyiv’s involvement in the terror attack. “Islamic State” (IS, ISIS) is an organization recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2014.
