DISINFO: Ukraine admits its responsibility for the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall
SUMMARY
Ukraine openly admits its responsibility for the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall.
The fact that the leadership of the Ukrainian security services confirms it, proves once again the connection between the Kyiv regime and the organisers and perpetrators of this crime.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative depicting Ukraine as a terrorist regime. The claim was made in connection with the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack in Moscow, trying to link Ukraine to the terrorist attacks in Russia without presenting any evidence.
The Islamic State have claimed responsibility for and shared video footage from the attacks, corroborating their claims of responsibility.
Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in the assault on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk.
In a recent development, news have appeared that Iran had warned Moscow a few days before of an imminent attack by ISIS based on information obtained from arrested ISIS terrorists in Iran.
U.S officials have intelligence that the Islamic State group's Afghan affiliate, IS-Khorasan, is responsible for the Moscow attack. “ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.

Even Putin himself acknowledged late on 25 March that Islamists were committing the attack.
