Putin suggests that Ukraine is behind the terrorist attack in Moscow

The Russian president, Vladimir Putinsuggested today that Ukraine is behind the terrorist attack perpetrated on Friday in a concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, where 139 people died and which was immediately claimed by the Islamic State.

“And the Nazis, as is well known, have never had any qualms about using the dirtiest and most inhumane means to achieve their objectives.“, he said during a meeting about the measures to be taken after the attack and which was broadcast live on television.

Putin He remembered that just now is when he has failed “completely” the Ukrainian counteroffensive, so Ukraine needs to score points against its Western sponsors.

While calling for answers to many questions, he himself responded that the attack on Crocus City Hall is reminiscent of the usual kyiv leitmotif.

“We must answer the question why the terrorists after committing the crime tried to flee right through Ukraine, who was waiting for them?“, he pointed.

Furthermore, it was also asked who benefits from an attack that was “an act of intimidation” and which took place just the day after Putin was declared president-elect.

“This crime may be just one link in a series of attempts by those who have been fighting against our country since 2014 with the hands of the neo-Nazi regime in kyiv.“, he claimed.

Putin denounced US attempts to “persuade its satellites and other countries of the world that, according to their intelligence data, there is supposedly no trace of kyiv in the Moscow attack, that the bloody act was committed by followers of Islam, members of the organization banned in Russia, Islamic State”.

“How do radical Islamists, who position themselves as orthodox Muslims, who profess what is known as pure Islam, proceed to commit horrible barbarities and crimes in the holy month for Muslims, Ramadan?“, he asked himself.

Subsequently, it was asked again whether, “Actually, radical Islamic terrorist organizations are interested in launching attacks against Russia, which today advocates for a fair settlement to the acute conflict in the Middle East.”.

At the same time, he admitted that those who support kyiv “They do not want to be complicit in terror and sponsors of terrorism. But, indeed, there are many questions”.

While the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in several videos, Ukraine has categorically denied having anything to do with the attack.
