“What makes the West’s attempts to distract the world community away from the real organizers and beneficiaries especially cynical is the categorical instruction not to cover the true scale of the tragedy in the media: not to mention the number of victims of the terrorist attack, dead children, to exclude demonstrations of the reaction of ordinary citizens to what happened,” the ministry said in a commentary on Telegram.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, during negotiations with his French counterpart Sebastien Lecornu, said that Moscow has information about the Ukrainian trace in organizing the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.

As President Vladimir Putin noted, it is already known by whose hands the terrorist attack was committed, but now we are interested in its customers. According to available data, on the Ukrainian side a “window” for terrorists to escape was being prepared.
