DISINFO: The organisers of the Crocus attack is the Ukrainian intelligence services - must be punished

SUMMARY

I have a simple question. How much time has passed since the terrorist attack in Crocus? A year already, I think, right? Wait, six months, I beg your pardon. Where is the punishment?

Vladimir Vladimirovich said very clearly, "if we find him in the toilet, we will kill him in the toilet." If we know that Ukrainian intelligence is behind this, why haven't the victims been avenged yet? I think it's not far off anyway.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative depicting Ukraine as a terrorist regime. The claim was made in connection with the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack in Moscow, trying to link Ukraine to the terrorist attacks in Russia without presenting any evidence.

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for and shared video footage from the attacks, corroborating their claims of responsibility.

Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in the assault on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk.

Iran had also warned Moscow a few days before of an imminent attack by ISIS based on information obtained from arrested ISIS terrorists in Iran.

U.S officials have intelligence that the Islamic State group's Afghan affiliate, IS-Khorasan, is responsible for the Moscow attack.ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.

Pro-Kremlin media falsely blame Ukraine in various outrageous crimes happend for real around the planet. Their technique may be described as "always blame Ukraine and the West". See false narratives on Ukraine as a terrorist State, Ukrainian weapons going to HAMAS and Taliban, Ukraine to be behind the anti-semitic riot in Dagestan. Other crimes attributed to Ukraine are simply invented. See for example, 7% of the State budget of Ukraine comes from selling children's organs' or Ukraine dreamed of destroying a third of Russia's population with the help of biological laboratories. See narratives dehumanising Ukrainians aimed at justifying Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
