Patrushev said that Ukraine was behind the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall

Patrushev said this while talking to reporters.

“Of course, Ukraine,” he said, answering a question about whether the Islamic State or Ukraine was behind the attack. The words of the Secretary of the Security Council are quoted by TASS.

As Putin noted on March 25, it is necessary to answer the question of why the terrorists tried to escape to Ukraine after committing a terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow. He emphasized that it is already known by whose hands the terrorist attack was committed, but now they are interested in its customers.

The day before, British analyst Alexander Mercouris also called the premature US statements about the alleged responsibility of the Islamic State for the terrorist attack in Russia very strange. According to the expert, it looks as if the United States is trying to reject in advance the assumption of Kyiv’s involvement in the terrorist attack. According to Russian Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova, the United States is justifying Ukraine, covering it up with the mention of the Islamic State.

* “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.
