A long series of accusations against the West over the horrific attack in Moscow. The director of the Russian security agency FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, accused the Ukrainian special services of facilitating Friday's terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the western suburbs of Moscow: “The FSB knows that Ukraine has trained militants in the Middle East.” . We know that the Ukrainian side trained and trained militants in the Middle East. Kiev representatives went to the places of terrorists, worked with them, provided them with training and evidence of the large number of citizens of different nationalities fighting on the side of Ukraine. These are nationalists, mercenaries and Islamists who, in principle, the country calls for to fight on the Russian front. The responsible attackers intended to travel abroad, specifically to the territory of Ukraine. “According to our initial operational information, they were expected to be there and I'll tell you a little secret, they wanted to be welcomed as heroes on the other side.”

But it didn't end here. Russia's 007 chief also points the finger at two other countries, threatening to spark a major escalation: “The United States and the United Kingdom, as well as Ukraine, are also behind the terrorist attack that occurred on Friday. Russia will take retaliatory measures in response to the attack,” Bortnikov said. “Retaliatory measures, of course. This is a work in progress. Everyone involved in this matter, regardless of how long ago the incident occurred, will be found and punished. We will work.”

So, “senior commanders of the Ukrainian special services, including the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov, are a legitimate target of the Russian Federation. Those who commit crimes against Russia and Russian citizens are a legitimate target,” is the latest threat from the spy leader The Kremlin. Yesterday, Vladimir Putin confirmed the Islamic origin of the attack (which ISIS claimed), and he always pointed the finger at Ukraine.
