Russia links concert shooting to 'Ukrainian nationalists'; US says 'nonsense'
Reuters via Yahoo ^ | March 28th, 2024 | Unattributed

Posted on 03/28/2024 2:14:42 PM PDT by Mariner

MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Russian investigators said on Thursday they had found proof that gunmen who killed more than 140 people at a concert last week were linked to "Ukrainian nationalists", an assertion immediately dismissed by the United States as baseless propaganda.

Russia has said from the outset that it believes Ukraine was linked to the attack, even though Kyiv has denied it and the militant group Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

In a statement, Russia's Investigative Committee said for the first time that it had uncovered proof of a Ukrainian connection. While it described the nature of the alleged evidence, it did not publish it.

"As a result of working with detained terrorists, studying the technical devices seized from them, and analysing information about financial transactions, evidence was obtained of their connection with Ukrainian nationalists," it said.

It said there was "confirmed data" that the attackers had received significant amounts of cash and cryptocurrency from Ukraine. Another suspect involved in "the terrorists' financing scheme" had been detained, the committee said.

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby described the Russian allegations as "nonsense and propaganda" and said Islamic State was solely responsible for the attack.

What else does Ukraine have up its sleeve?

What other terrorist act, you mean?

Ukraine is being destroyed on the battlefield so that's all they have left.

Hersh provided zero evidence, that’s why you Putin Fanbois get so upset any time we ask for it

So now you actually believe ISIS is taking orders from Christian Crusaders? LOL

You people are dumb beyond belief

Russia also today destroyed one of the largest energy production facilities in all Europe, plus a second one that was considered large as well. Soon Ukraine will be without power production. They announced they will begin their offensive operations in May. I thought Russia was on offense but they claim they are just shaping the theater battlefield for the May offensive. They sure know how to soften up the enemy. The Missile Offensive has now reached 7 days, will continuting attacks on energy production, airfields, underground bunkers, intelligence HQs, and Black Sea Port facilities.

The US claimed it was ISIS and NOT Ukraine before Russian authorities had finished removing the bodies. Now Russia is questioning how Washington managed to organize press conferences on such short notice with so many facts. Turns out the US is wrong again. Biden, Obama, Rinos, are going to hard to evict from power in November. I do not think we can ever get the DNC OUT OF THE CIA, EPA, etc. There needs to be a purge of Government employees who wear their DNC lapel pin on their sleeves.

And there in lies the problem. I trust anything our government says about as much as I trust Putin. Actually, I probably trust our government less.

Kinda like how after the Benghazi attack they pointed to a video “Innocence of Muslims” which had only 25 views as “the cause” of the Benghazi attack.

That intelligence officer named Maluk said today that he has operatives inside Russia carrying out operations against both Ukrainians and Russians working against Ukraine.

Most people would shut their pie hole about running intelligence operations in the wake of the terrorist incident in Moscow. This is one of the top Intel officers in Ukraine.

Except Putin knows that the US and Ukraine did not do it. He is just using it as an opportunity to garner support for his aggression against Ukraine.

Russian chauvinists like Putin have never needed a reason to mass murder Ukrainians. Then genocidally erase Ukraine’s borders, language and culture. It’s just how Kremlin Bolsheviks have always rolled.

As usual, you full of sh$t like every other piece of neo-Nazi scum:

https://news.cgtn.com/news/2023-09-27/U-S-blows-Nord-Stream-pipeline-to-keep-its-primacy-in-W-Europe-Hersh-1nr1Saengsg/index.html

"The American men and women who moved, under cover, in and out of Norway in the months it took to plan and carry out the destruction of three of the four Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea a year ago left no traces – not a hint of the team's existence – other than the success of their mission," the 86-year-old investigative reporter wrote in the article.

"You could call it the perfect crime."

###

According to Hersh, the CIA then already had a "secret planning underway." "With Norway's help, the CIA did its job and found a way to do what the Biden White House wanted done to the pipelines," he wrote.

It was probably the Italian mafia, not some Ukrainian Muslims.

Is it possible that the massacre at the Moscow concert was orchestrated by the Western intelligence agencies and that the wrecking of the Key Bridge in Baltimore was a retaliatory strike by the Russians? The head of Russian intelligence blamed the massacre on Ukraine, America, and Britain. I can't prove that either act was deliberate action of NATO vs Russia but a lot goes on that does not make it to the public. Russia, China, and the Western powers are effectively in Cold War II. Neither NATO nor the Chinese Russian Iranian alliance are going to be upfront.

Exactly.
Russia and it’s allies; China, Iran and NORK want a war with the US, while Pedo Joe is in office.
They know the US, NATO and Europe are at their weakest, from self inflicted wounds and know the time to knock the US out of top place is now.
Putin and Xi are evil dictators, but they are not stupid.
They are very cunning and are playing 3 D chess and the long game.
They know Xiao Bi Dung is senile and corrupt and his handlers are “woke” children playing dress up.

Remember, the US first said Russia blew up it’s own gas line. Later on investigators proved it was our own CIA/Navy that did it. The US countered and said it was a renegade Ukrainian group using a Danish fishing boat. So lame. So, if Russia has the evidence from the suspects they captured, it’s probably true. I don’t think they were supposed to be caught.
