US shielding itself by ‘whitewashing’ Kiev over terror attack – Moscow
Evidence suggests that the Ukrainian government was behind last month’s concert hall massacre in Russia, a senior official has claimed
The US refuses to consider potential Ukrainian involvement in last month’s terrorist attack near Moscow because Washington is ultimately accountable for Kiev’s actions, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev, has said.
The US government has claimed that all evidence points to an Afghanistan-based offshoot of the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) as the mastermind behind the Crocus City Hall massacre on March 22. Any Russian suggestions to the contrary are “nonsense and propaganda,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby claimed last week.
Speaking at an international event in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Wednesday, Patrushev said Washington is determined to “impose” its preferred narrative regarding the attack.
“Identifying the mastermind and sponsor of the monstrous crime is what is most important. The trace leads to the Ukrainian special services,” he claimed.
“It is well known that the Kiev regime is not independent and is fully controlled by the US. We should also take into account that ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations were created by Washington,” the senior official added.
