Russia Claims Ukraine Linked to Deadly Moscow Concert Theater Attack

Russia’s Investigative Committee has announced that they have found evidence linking the gunmen responsible for the deadly attack on a concert theater to Ukrainian nationalists. The attack took place at the Crocus City Hall concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, claiming at least 143 lives. The committee also arrested another possible suspect involved in financing terrorists.

The White House condemned Russian leaders for attempting to link Ukraine to the attack, calling them “propagandists” for spreading false information. The Russian Investigative Committee stated that the attackers received significant sums of cash and cryptocurrencies from Ukraine, which were used in planning the attack. They also identified and detained another suspect involved in financing terrorists.

The Russian authorities have obtained confirmed data showing a connection between the attackers and Ukrainian nationalists through their investigation. They have also arrested eight other suspects related to the attack on terrorism charges. Despite Russia admitting that the attack was carried out by Islamists, they continue to search for a “Ukrainian footprint” in the incident. Ukraine has denied any involvement in the attack, which is considered one of Russia’s deadliest incidents of terrorism in 20 years.
