“We know that the crime was committed by the hands of radical Islamists,” Vladimir Putin himself emphasized. We are interested in who is behind the attack,” he added, according to Ria Novosti.
According to him, the United States, through various channels, is trying to convince everyone that there is no Ukrainian trace in this crime, and that ISIS is behind it. The Russian president added that it is necessary to get answers to many questions, especially if the Islamists really decided to attack Russia and who could benefit from this terrorist act.
He also described the terrorist attack as another attempt by those who have been fighting Moscow since 2014 at the hands of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. Their purpose is to sow panic in society, he stressed.
Putin added that those who support Kiev do not want to be complicit in terror, but many questions remain. As he said, we need to find out why the criminals tried to make a difference in Ukraine after the attack in Moscow and who is waiting for them there.
“Those who planned this terrorist attack hoped to sow panic and discord in our society, but unity and determination prevailed,” he said, adding that despite the pain, grief and desire to punish the criminals, the investigation must be conducted objectively and without bias.
Two teenagers who helped dozens of people escape from a concert hall that was targeted in a terrorist attack that killed at least 137 people near Moscow were honored today (25/3) by their school.
Islam Kalilov and 15-year-old Artyom Donskov, classmates, received the laptops as a reward for their heroism, Russian media reported.
As they worked in the changing rooms of Crocus City Hall, they showed exemplary composure, escorting groups of spectators to the exit.
Cellphone footage shows Islam Kalilov running in the opposite direction from a line of dozens of panicked people. “Everybody out of there!” he shouts repeatedly.

“To tell the truth, I was very scared,” he told Russian radio network BFM, adding that he had confirmed that no one was left behind before he himself left the scene.
“They had shown us where to send people in the event of an incident. I knew where to take them to be safe,” he explained.
His classmate Artyom Donskov accompanied another group of people who were looking for an escape route from inside the building, which was already on fire.
Islam Kalilov is also expected to be honored on March 29 by the Union of Muslims of Russia, a major religious organization, the TASS news agency points out.
Another hero is a spectator who went to the concert with his wife and who managed to disarm one of the attackers with his bare hands, in front of many eyewitnesses.
That man, who did not want to be named, told Russian media that he jumped on one of the attackers while he was reloading his gun and began hitting him in the head along with another man, who rushed to help him.
In addition, a member of the security described to the Izvestia media that he, together with three other men, blocked a door in a corridor, which one of the attackers was shooting at, all this to allow a group of people he was escorting to leave the scene.
Four men accused of masterminding the attack on the Russian concert hall that killed more than 130 people have appeared before a court in Moscow on Sunday showing signs of savage beatings as they faced formal terrorism charges. One of them even appeared to be unconscious during the hearing.
Basmanny District Court of Moscow formally charged Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30, Shamsidin Fariduni, 25, and Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19, on charges of committing a group terrorist attack resulting in the death of others. The offense carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
The court ordered the men, who are all citizens of Tajikistan, to be remanded in custody until May 22.
Russian media reported that the men were tortured during interrogation by security services and Mirzoyev, Rachabalizoda and Fariduni were badly bruised and their faces were swollen.

Russian media reported on Saturday that one of the suspects had his ear cut off during interrogation. The Associated Press could not verify the above.
The fourth suspect, Faizov, was brought to court from a hospital in a wheelchair and sat with his eyes closed throughout the proceedings. He was attended to by medics while in court, where he wore a hospital gown while suffering from multiple cuts.
Russian authorities arrested the four suspected perpetrators on Saturday after the Massacre in Moscow, while seven other people were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the attack, as Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a speech to the Russian people on Saturday night. He claimed they were arrested while fleeing to Ukraine, which Kiev has strongly denied.
