Russian Investigative Committee Uncovers Evidence of Ukrainian Nationalist Involvement in Deadly Moscow Theater Attack

Russia’s Investigative Committee has found evidence linking 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, leaving at least 143 people dead.

The Russian authorities have obtained confirmed data showing a connection between the attackers and Ukrainian nationalists through their investigation. Ukraine has denied any involvement in the attack, which is considered the deadliest in Russia in 20 years.

The White House criticized Russia for trying to link Ukraine to the attack, calling them “garbage sellers” for spreading propaganda. The Russian Investigative Committee stated that significant sums of cash and cryptocurrencies were received by the attackers from Ukraine, which were used in planning the attack. They also arrested another suspect involved in financing terrorists.

The Federal Security Service (FSB) had previously arrested eleven people, including four terrorists directly involved in the attack who were attempting to escape to Ukraine. Despite Russia admitting that the attack was carried out by Islamists, they continue to search for a “Ukrainian footprint” in the incident.
