Russian state investigators have said they will study a request from parliament to investigate what they called the “organisation, financing, and conduct of terrorist acts” against Russia by the United States and other Western countries, Ednews reports via The Guardian.
Since the terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall on Friday, Russian politicians and media figures have speculated about Ukrainian and western involvement, without providing evidence.
The director of Russia’s FSB security agency said yesterday that he believed Ukraine, along with the United States and Britain, were involved in the massacre that killed at least 139 people.
Islamic State took responsibility for the Moscow shooting. Washington and Paris have said they have intelligence confirming the Islamist militant group was behind the attack. British foreign secretary David Cameron posted on X: “Russia’s claims about the West and Ukraine on the Crocus City Hall attack are utter nonsense.”
