Moscow: “US reaction to terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall raises questions”

The reaction of the US authorities to the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall raises big questions, in particular, as to the reasons why the White House takes the liberty of claiming right away Ukraine was not involved in the incident, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

“There are also reactions [to what happened at Crocus City Hall] that raise more questions. This certainly concerns comments from Washington, which said it saw no signs that Ukrainians might be involved in the terrorist attack,” Zakharova said on the Rossiya-24 television channel.

“What makes officials in Washington draw any conclusions in the midst of the tragedy about anyone’s non-involvement is a big question,” Zakharova said. “If the US or any other country has reliable evidence on this matter, they should immediately share it with the Russian side. If there is no such evidence, then neither the White House nor anyone else is in a position to postulate anyone’s innocence.”.
