Russia has detained the “financier” of the Moscow terror attack, who allegedly has ties to Ukraine

The Basmanny District Court of Moscow has placed eight other defendants in custody in connection with the shooting at the “Crocus City Hall” concert hall.

It should be reminded that the “Islamic State” has taken responsibility for the attack and its fighters have distributed videos on social networks showing the armed people who committed the mass murder.

This does not stop senior Russian officials, including head of state Vladimir Putin, from blaming Ukraine and the West for the terrorist attack. Russia’s Investigative Committee announced on Thursday that it had obtained “verifiable information that the perpetrators of the terrorist attack received significant sums of money and cryptocurrency from Ukraine, which were used in the preparation of the crime.”

“The connection of the detained terrorists with Ukrainian nationalists was established by checking their electronic devices and analyzing financial transactions,” explained the committee.

Ukraine itself and its Western allies have characterized the occupiers’ accusations as absurd lies and “propaganda”.

It has already been reported that on March 22, armed people opened fire and set fire to the music venue in the Piemaskova concert hall, killing at least 143 people and injuring hundreds more.
