“After a significant increase in Russian attacks on Ukraine, it is more important than ever to (1) strengthen and speed up the delivery of EU military aid and (2) criticize Putin for pointing out Ukraine’s role in Friday’s attacks on Moscow. Friday,” Borrell wrote.
The day after the attacks, European institutions, including Borrell, condemned “in the strongest terms” the “brutal” attack on the outskirts of Moscow, which killed 137 people.
On Monday, the Kremlin assured that there is still no “definite hypothesis” regarding responsibility for the attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall, which was immediately claimed by the Islamic State.
According to the country’s authorities, Russian security forces detained 11 people in connection with the attack, four of whom personally participated in the massacre.
