Russian propagandists and “military commissars” are looking for a “Ukrainian trace” in the attack on Crocus City Hall

Putin and the FSB are also talking about this. Ukraine denies involvement in the terrorist attack

After the terrorist attack, the Crocus City Hall immediately arose that the Islamic State is responsible for it. In social networks, an application was published on behalf of the terrorist group, anonymous American officialsconfirmed its authenticity to reporters. Then the statement of the Amak agency, close to terrorists, came out . It says that the militants "took a coordinated attack on a large crowd of Christians." Nevertheless, the Russian “military commissar” and the propagandists started talking about the “Ukrainian trace”. Vladimir Putin, in his appeal to the Russians, said that a “window” was prepared from the Ukrainian side for terrorists to cross the border. In the intelligence and office of the President of Ukraine, involvement in the attack is denied.

One of the first about the possible connection of terrorists with Ukraine was written on the evening of March 22, Kommersant with reference to several sources that suggested that the attackers “could be members” of the “Russian Volunteer Corps” .

The Main Directorate of the Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), the country's Foreign Ministry and adviser to the head of the president’s office, Mikhail Podolyak, rejected any involvement of the Ukrainian forces in shooting at Crocus City Hall. However, the day after the terrorist attack that Ukraine was standing, Russian “military commissars” and other public persons in the Russian media already wrote directly.

The post with the heading “The main signs that Ukraine is behind the terrorist attack” was published by a member of the Human Rights Council under the President and “military” Alexander Kotz. According to him, after the terrorist attack, he was “slightly crumpled” from how speed the Internet community tied Ukraine to this bloody crime. ” But the attackers, Kotz writes, acted not as “classic terrorists”, but were more like hired killers. Kot states that when they launched a “hackneyed record in the genre in Kyiv” “fired on themselves” ”, he had“ recent doubts ”. “The Ukrainian special services are behind the terrorist attack. Well, those who are behind them, ”he concludes.

The author of the military telegram channel “Elder than Edda”, which has more than half a million subscribers, calls the attack “an attempt to answer” the actions of the Russian troops. “We are destroying the enemy army and infrastructure, they in response beat peaceful cities and kill civilians,” he writes .

Andrei Medvedev, Vice Speaker of the Moscow City Duma and VGTRK correspondent, reason why the British intelligence of the Mi-6, who, in his opinion, “patronizes the Ukrainian GUR”, and the Main Directorate of the Intelligence of Ukraine “chose that the monstrous terrorist attack in Moscow is precisely what migrants”. According to his version, the Ukrainian special services "actively work with Islamic radicals for a dozen years."

RT editor -in -chief Margarita Simonyan said that the performers of the attack were selected so, "in order to convince the stupid world public that [the terrorist attack is standing] ISIS ." “So, so. This is not ISIS. This is crests, ”wrote Simonyan.

Senator Viktor Bondarev directly spoke out of the officials, who called the incident in Crocus City Hall "a terrorist attack and sabotage from Ukraine." The head of the Duma defense committee Andrei Kartapolov called "the main interested" in the terrorist attack "Ukraine and its patrons."

The Russian Foreign Ministry does not accuse Ukraine directly, but writes that the “Kiev regime” over the past years has been carrying out “active and systemic terrorist activities against Russian citizens”. The Foreign Ministry mentions the shelling of residential quarters, attacks on civil infrastructure and attempt on public figures and journalists in Russia.

The official representative of the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, claims that terrorists allegedly planned to hide in Ukraine. Zakharova called Ukraine a country that "for ten years by the hands of Western liberal regimes turned into a center for the spread of terrorism in Europe, ahead of even Kosovo in an extremist fucker."

Where did the terrorists go?

The car on which the terrorists tried to hide, according to the Baza telegram channel, was stopped in the Bryansk region near the village of Teply a few kilometers from the border with Belarus. The Belarusian Ambassador to Russia stated that the Belarusian special services helped "prevent terrorists from leaving over the general border." However, later the State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein said that the car was stopped in the area of ​​the village of Khatsun Karachevsky district of the Bryansk region, located on a highway leading towards Ukraine, but much further from the Ukrainian border than the warm - from the Belarusian. The FSB of Russia said that the car was stopped in the Bryansk region, and the terrorists intended to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border, but the specific settlement was not called. "Medusa" geolocied a video with the detention of one of the terrorists - it was shot near the Hatsun village about 140 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin, in his appeal to the Russians, with whom he performed 19 hours after the attack, said that all four performers of the attack tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where they “trained a window for crossing the state border from the Ukrainian side”.

The FSBsaid that the suspects "were moving by car towards the Russian-Ukrainian border" and "had appropriate contacts on the Ukrainian side."

The day after the terrorist attack, the GUR once again rejected the involvement of the Ukrainian special services in an attack on Crocus. The Ukrainian intelligence speaker Andrei Yusov said that Putin’s version of the “window” from the Ukrainian side “has no criticism”. “For more than two years, a full -scale war has been going on, the border territories are saturated with enemy troops, special agents, representatives of special services, and the security forces,” Yusov said.

Mikhail Podolyak wrote that in the office of the Ukrainian president “expected the version of Russian officials about the“ Ukrainian trace ””, however, any attempts to “connect” Ukraine to the terrorist attack “absolutely insolvent” and it “has no attitude” to this. Vladimir Zelensky terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall and Putin's statements did not comment.
