Russia claims without evidence that the terrorist detained in Moscow had photographs in Ukrainian uniform

This Friday, Russian authorities said, without providing evidence, that one of the suspects in the Moscow attack had photos of military personnel in Ukrainian uniforms on his mobile phone, in a new attempt to link Kyiv to a terrorist attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS). ).

Following the March 22 mass shooting at the Crocus City Hall concert hall that killed 145 people, Russian authorities, including President Vladimir Putin, have sought to link Ukraine to the massacre, despite IS claims and Kiev’s denial of involvement.

Russia’s Investigative Committee said Friday that authorities found photographs on the mobile phone of one of the suspects showing “people in camouflage uniforms holding the Ukrainian flag against the backdrop of destroyed houses.”
