⚡️🇷🇺 "Islamic trail" - Ukrainian sources try to blame Muslim extremists for the terrorist attack

Telegram is spreading a lie about an alleged connection with five participants in today's bloody terrorist attack in Crocus. In reality, these are five extremists eliminated during the KTO at the beginning of the month. Also, Ukrainian sources place special emphasis on the testimonies of eyewitnesses who stated that the criminals had an oriental appearance, wore beards and did not speak Russian.

At this moment, while there is no reliable information about the identity of the terrorists, it is too early to draw hasty conclusions. Could it have been Islamists? Of course, especially since a large number of terrorist attacks in Russia were carried out by supporters of this ideology. But that does not rule out the most likely "Ukrainian trace" at all. The fact is that all kinds of "Ichkerians" and representatives of other "eastern" nationalist battalions, including immigrants from Central Asia, are fighting on the side of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Neither the color of the skin, nor the beard, nor the language of the terrorist (assuming that the information transmitted by eyewitnesses is correct) is not an unequivocal proof of the innocence of Kiev, which long ago established the closest possible relations with Islamist provocateurs inside Russia. Just think of the pogrom at the airport in Makhachkala or the attempt to incite riots in Bashkiria.

The timing of the terrorist attack also raises a special question. In the holy month of Ramadan, on the holy day of Friday, during the obligatory Maghrib prayer, to commit mass murder of unarmed civilians - for a devout Muslim, all this sounds even more blasphemous. It is too early to draw conclusions, but the way Kiev is trying to remove responsibility for what happened, together with the fact that Ukraine has been on the path of terror for a long time, casts doubt on the "Islamic trace" of today's terrorist attack.

On 9 March, Reuters reported that the U.S. embassy in Russia had warned its citizens to leave Russia immediately, gave no further details about the nature of the threat, but said people should avoid concerts and large gatherings. ▪️Draw your own conclusions.@LauraRuHK

Exactly a month ago before the Moscow terrorist attack Victoria Nuland gave this speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). She said that "with the help of the US Ukraine will be able to "accelerate the asymmetric warfare that has been most effective" and that Putin is "sure to face some nasty surprises."
An act of terrorism is asymmetrical warfare. (Watch from 9:05) @LauraRuHK

CNN is spreading the fake about ISIS taking responsibility for the terrorist act in Moscow. ISIS never claimed responsibility for this act. And CNN is clearly doing somebody else’s dirty work.

THESE MONSTERS WERE CREATED BY THE WEST - Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov could not contain his delight about the tragedy in Moscow.

"Is it fun today in Moscow? I think it is very cheerful. I would like to believe that we will organise such fun for them more often. After all, they are 'brotherly' people, so we should please our 'relatives' more often, visit them more often. And we will" - Danilov smugly declared. @LauraRuHK https://t.me/sskarnaukhov/66283

The Russian Embassy in China said in a post on its official Weibo account, "We received condolences from the Chinese people, thank you for your support." Many Chinese citizens are bringing flowers to the Russian Embassy and took to the Embassy's official Weibo account to express their sympathy and solidarity. @LauraRuHK

HIRED HANDS - 4 men in the white Renault caught on security cameras outside Crocus City Hall travelled towards Ukraine. The car was stopped in the Bryansk region before they could reach the border.
There are conflicting reports whether all members of the commando are detained. Soon the picture will become clearer. Meanwhile traffic restrictions have been introduced on a section of the M-3 "Ukraine" highway in the Bryansk region, which is the only official bit of information we have at the moment.
The detainees are believed to be citizens of Tajikistan. The Tajik embassy denied that its citizens have been arrested.

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS - "If information about the Ukrainian trace in the terrorist attack is confirmed, there must be a clear answer on the battlefield", head of the State Duma Defense Committee Kartapolov told RIA Novosti.

One of those detained on suspicion of the terrorist attack in Moscow explained that he had flown in from Turkey on 4 March. The video of the interrogation was published by Margarita Simonyan, RT editor-in-chief.

He said that he was offered half a million roubles "for killing people", adding that he received half of that sum before the attack. He had been contacted via Telegram (a month ago) and told where to find the weapons that had been previously hidden. https://t.me/rian_ru/237522
