According to RIA Novosti, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova stated this.

According to her, Washington is trying to “get Ukraine out of harm’s way.”

“They exposed themselves. They started shouting, not calling for an investigation, but began to take Ukraine out of the attack,” the diplomat said.

Zakharova emphasized that in the absence of US involvement, their first statements in connection with the terrorist attack would be about the need for investigation, investigation and presentation of facts.

Earlier, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, when asked whether the USA, Great Britain and Ukraine were behind the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, said that the Russian special services think that this is so.

Also, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson called the terrorist attack at Crocus part of a psychological operation organized by the West.
