Russian Foreign Ministry responds to White House reaction to terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall

22.03.2024, Moscow.

The Russian Foreign Ministry says Washington’s reaction to the tragedy in Crocus City Hall raises many questions, official spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on the air of Russia 24 on March 22.

“There are reactions that raise many questions. This is certainly the reaction of Washington, which said that it sees no signs that Ukraine and, as they said, Ukrainians are involved in the terrorist attack. On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions about anyone’s involvement in the midst of the tragedy?” Zakharova stated.

Earlier, the White House said that it had no prior information about the terrorist attack in Moscow. However, it urged the Russian authorities not to hold Ukraine responsible for the incident without solid evidence.

A group of terrorists stormed into the Crocus City Hall before a concert by the band Picnic and opened fire with assault rifles. The number of attackers is unknown, according to preliminary information, about 40 people were killed and another 100 were injured.
