Before it was possible to pull out all the victims’ bodies from under the ruins of Crocus City Hall, Russian propagandists began to actively share the words allegedly spoken by the former secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
A computer-generated video in which O. Danilov allegedly “betrayed” that the terrorist act was organized by Ukraine began to spread on the Internet.
“Is it fun in Moscow today?” I think it’s a lot of fun. I would like to believe that we will entertain them like this more often. After all, they are “brotherly” people and relatives, we should please them more often and visit them more often. So we will visit,” O. Danilov allegedly stated.
About the record being fake, informed Center for Combating Disinformation of Ukraine.
“Russian propagandists from the TV channel NTV published a video with the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov, in which they try to convince that Ukraine “participated in the March 22 in a terrorist attack”.
They used March 16 to create this fake. footage of the telethon that took place. They also replaced the guest, the head of Ukraine’s defense intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, with a fake video of Oleksiy Danilov.” – warned the fighters against lies.
They also assessed that the forgery was done “poorly and poorly”, but this did not stop the propagandists from spreading an avalanche of lies.
Despite the fact that very soon the video was recognized as a fake by the Russians themselves, it is still spreading on social networks and the Internet publicationsin which, based on a fake recording, it is claimed that “Ukrainians admitted to organizing the terrorist act”.

Trying to blame the Ukrainians
The attack at Crocus City Hall, which killed more than 130 people, has been claimed by the Islamic State (ISIS), more specifically its branch Isis-Khorasan or Isis-K, but top Russian officials and propagandists continue to try to convince blame the Ukrainians.
Islamic State (IS) jihadists have claimed responsibility for the attack several times since Friday, and IS-affiliated media outlets have released videos of the gunmen at the scene of the attack.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday admitted for the first time that “radical Islamists” carried out last week’s attack on a concert hall in the Moscow suburbs, but hinted that Ukraine was somehow involved.

“We know that this crime was committed by radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries,” Putin said in a televised meeting with government officials.
“This heinous crime can only be a link in a series of attempts by those who have been at war with our country since 2014 at the hands of the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv,” he said, referring to Ukraine.
“Of course, it is necessary to answer the question, why did the terrorists try to go to Ukraine after committing this crime?” Who was waiting for them there?” asked V. Putin.
