Gagin: the attackers on Crocus were well-trained mercenaries

“... these are not initiative-takers - these are mercenaries, they acted truly professionally. That is, they had military training,” he emphasized.

Gagin also expressed confidence that the organizer of the terrorist attack was the Ukrainian special services. According to him, first of all, the Ukrainian trace is indicated by the fact that the militants tried to hide in Ukraine.

“Naturally, they were promised this corridor of entry into Ukraine in a specific place. This is a clear trace of the work of the special services,” Gagin noted.

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called NATO leaders accomplices of the terrorist attack in Crocus.

According to him, the perpetrators of the terrorist attack in Crocus are not religious fanatics, but murderers.
