Putin: Crocus terrorists tried to escape to Ukraine

Putin: the question needs to be answered why the Crocus terrorists tried to leave for Ukraine

Vladimir Putin, during a meeting on measures taken after the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, said that terrorists were expected in Ukraine.

“We also need to answer the question,” he said, “why terrorists <...> tried to go to Ukraine, who was waiting for them there.”

He also questioned “who benefits from this.” Putin suggested that the terrorist attack could be “a link in a whole series of attempts by those who have been fighting” with Russia since 2014 “at the hands of the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime.”
