RIA Novosti reports about this.

According to the diplomat, Russian President Vladimir Putin was the first who, in 2001, “extended his hand to the Americans and declared his readiness to provide assistance.”

“And something worked, it worked... and it’s not our fault that all of this has been destroyed today,” Antonov said.

Earlier, Antonov laid flowers at a spontaneous memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack in Crocus.

Also, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that the United States and Ukraine lied - they could not agree on a single version of the terrorist attack in the Crocus near Moscow.
