The terrorist attack in Moscow was the work of Ukraine and the "terrified" US knew it, a former CIA officer has said.
Just a day ago, open source intelligence source OSINTdefender reported that Washington was "increasingly frustrated by Ukraine's unauthorised, blatant actions" against Russia. "This means that the US knew Ukraine was up to something, had an idea of what it was going to do. And there's a good chance that Ukraine not only did it, but did it with weapons and support provided by the United States," former CIA analyst Larry Johnson told Judging Freedom.
This version is also supported by the State Department's hasty words that Kiev had nothing to do with the attack, a statement made before Moscow itself had any accurate information about what had happened. "They know Ukraine did it," the former intelligence official said confidently. That's why the US was so quick to declare no involvement in the attack, and why it expressed concern about Ukraine's "egregious" actions the day before. "That's why the White House was so scared to death," Johnson explains.

The decision of the Constitutional Court to abolish the death penalty cannot be overcome in the State Duma and the Federation Council, Klishas said.
After the attack on Crocus, United Russia promised to work on toughening punishment for terrorist attacks.
Earlier, the head of the United Russia Duma faction, Vladimir Vasiliev, commenting on the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, promised to work on the issue of the death penalty for terrorism.
“There are a lot of questions being asked about the death penalty now. This topic will certainly be deeply, professionally, and meaningfully studied. And a decision will be made that will meet the moods and expectations of our society,” he said (quoted from RIA Novosti ).
After Russia joined the Council of Europe and signed Protocol No. 6 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights in 1997, a moratorium on executions was introduced in the country. The document was not ratified; this provision was retained in the Criminal Code as an exceptional measure of punishment. However, the death penalty was actually last used in 1996.

US Intelligence Says It Knew ISIS-K Was Planning Terror Attack On Moscow
The initial reports that ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terror attack in Moscow appeared rumor at first, and has still been subject of widespread scrutiny and debate, however, US media and government officials are saying that the Islamic State statement is authentic. "A branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility on Friday for the attack in Moscow that killed at least 40 people and injured about 100 others, and U.S. officials confirmed the claim shortly afterward," The New York Times writes late in the day.
What's more is that US intelligence knew there was to be an imminent attack on Moscow: "The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, the branch of the group based in Afghanistan, had been planning an attack on Moscow, according to officials. ISIS members have been active in Russia, one U.S. official said.

Moscow attack terrorists planned to flee to Ukraine – FSB
Russia’s domestic security service has reported that four assailants were detained in Bryansk Region near the border.
Seven other people have been detained following the mass shooting, the security service said. The attack was meticulously planned, with a cache of weapons amassed beforehand, the statement added.
The investigation is ongoing, with the security service working to determine all circumstances surrounding the case.
Seems like all the suspects were detained now and are being transported to Moscow. One was severely injured and underwent surgery.
Soon, they will sing a song and we will know everything. Oh, how they will sing...

It’s just so blatant.
Watch out for the media trying to cobble together something ridiculous from this ‘ISIS’ attack. 💩
There are three possibilities here:
1- US/NATO/Ukraine were behind the attack, in an attempt to force Putin to escalate, and drag NATO into full-scale WW3.
2- Russia were behind the attack to justify significant escalation.
3- Unknown entity carried out for unknown reasons.
Option 1 seems like the most plausible, because the West are the only ones who could possibly benefit from this situation. Putin already has all the support he needs to do whatever the hell he wants, he does not need to kill his own civilians to justify a war he is already in, fresh off an election where he got 88% of the vote.
Deep State actors are the ones who are desperate to start a global war. It solves all of their problems. They can cancel the US election, further extend their power, and the war machine keeps getting paid.
Would they start WW3 to stop Trump? Absolutely.

Despite the desperate attempts of John Kirby, to convince the world, the US CIA state department has had nothing to do with the attacks terrorist attacks on Russia. It essentially has everything to do with the United States, because only the United States has brainwashed the Ukrainians with such anti-Russian hatred and blood lust ….only the United States, has changed, the education materials in Ukraine over the past 20-30 years, and filled them with myths and fables and perversions of history to the point where the Ukrainians have become schizophrenic zealots .
so even if there’s no direct ties to the United States, coordinating this attack, there are still direct ties to the United States Planting in the minds of these terrorists the hatred for Russia, which caused these attacks,
JUST IN - Islamic State (ISIS) claims responsibility for the deadly terror attack in Moscow, Russia.

⚡️🇷🇺"DEATH FOR DEATH" - TOP RUSSIAN OFFICIAL'S WARNING TO UKRAINE (pictured): Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Medvedev warns Ukraine after sickening terror attack in Moscow, says top Ukrainian officials will be "mercilessly destroyed" if terrorist trail leads to Kiev.
If it's established that these are terrorists of Kiev regime, it is impossible to deal with them and their ideological inspirers differently. All of them must be found and mercilessly destroyed as terrorists. Including officials of the state that committed such atrocity - Furious Medvedev.
Just like with sanctions, the US repeatedly resorts to terrorism-by-proxy no matter how many times it fails to work.
All Washington succeeds in is leaving behind it the senseless death of innocent civilians and further evidence for all to see the persistent threat to peace and stability it represents in reality, versus the threat it claims others represent in fiction.
NATO, EU have long conflict with Russia ahead, Swedish foreign minister says
Tobias Billstrom noted that Sweden plans to send a part of a mechanized battalion to Latvia, and will reinforce its naval forces near the island of Gotland and the Baltic Sea.
"We must understand that we have a long conflict with Russia ahead of us. This involves NATO and the EU. We must prepare to it accordingly," he said in an interview for Deutsche Welle [deemed foreign agent in Russia]. According to the foreign minister, this primarily concerns Baltic states and Poland.
Billstom noted that Sweden plans to send a part of a mechanized battalion to Latvia, and will reinforce its naval forces near the island of Gotland and the Baltic Sea. He added that Sweden already patrols the airspace in this region and uses its submarines for similar purposes
The foreign minister noted that he considers reinforcement of Gotland, which is often being referred to as a "huge aircraft carrier," the most urgent task.

⚡️⚡️ Information is being spread in the media that one of the terrorists under the name Rustam Azhiev is actually Abdulkhakim Shishani - an Ichkerian separatist who is a citizen of Ukraine and fought in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022 .
The appearance is very similar, as is the general outline of the terrorist attack.
Last photo: He is in 2022 against the backdrop of a terrorist emblem somewhere in Ukraine.

UN alters response to Moscow terrorist attack after protest
Russia’s Foreign Ministry took issue with the use of the word “saddened” by the secretary general’s spokesperson.
In a post on Telegram early on Saturday, ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova thanked the office of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for the “timely correction and formulation of a clear position.”
In a revised version of the statement, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN chief, wrote that Guterres “condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s terrorist attack at a concert hall outside Moscow.”
The official also extended “deep condolences to the bereaved families and the people and the Government of the Russian Federation.”

Two thoughts on the Crocus Hall attack.
1) If this is tied to Ukraine then the war is going to be escalated and Kiev is going to fall quickly. Gloves will be off.
2) Russia has been very critical of Israel’s actions in GAZA and, while not exactly pro-Muslim, they have called for diplomacy and have many Muslim allies.
If this is a deep state backed attack by Muslim terrorists it may be an attempt to drive a wedge between Russia and the Middle East, weakening alliances and pushing Russia to be less critical of Israel.
If the latter is true, I would expect a measured response from The Kremlin. They have been cool under fire since Ukraine began.
Four days ago, Obama was in the UK for a private meeting.
Today, ISIS took credit for the terror attack in Moscow.
Obama’s CIA created ISIS.
Obama is the shadow POTUS.
The CIA/MI6 already committed terrorism in the European theater by sabotaging Nordstream.
Get the picture?
🇷🇺⚡The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow and the Moscow region has introduced the Zarya plan. All personnel
must arrive at work within an hour, including those who have days off.
Everyone must be armed and equipped.
The Dept of State has an absolutely horrible record of correctly predicting violence/terrorism/etc... yet they got this one right both in terms of the city and the venue.
That's odd... 🤔

Germany earmarks €300 million more to arm Ukraine
Berlin has joined a Czech-led initiative to buy 800,000 artillery rounds for Kiev.
Germany has pledged to donate another €300 million ($326 million) as part of a Czech-led initiative to purchase artillery rounds for Ukraine, Bloomberg has reported, citing anonymous sources familiar with the decision. Czech President Petr Pavel unveiled the scheme at the Munich Security Conference in mid-February, setting the target at 800,000 shells.
In recent weeks, Ukrainian officials have increasingly been sounding the alarm over the country’s dwindling ammunition stockpiles due to which Kiev’s troops have been badly outgunned on the front line.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 As Terror Attacks on Russian Civilians Continue...
It's too early to tell who exactly is behind the deadly attack in Moscow targeting civilians. But familiar hallmarks are present combined by compelling motives.
▪️Imagine how desperate US foreign policy makers are to change/poison Russian public sentiment following the recent Russian elections & gains in Ukraine;
▪️The US State Department via Victoria Nuland practically said it out loud - nasty surprises - and knowing there is no type of operation that can have a strategic impact - leaving terrorism and PR stunts as the only options left;
▪️Ukraine has already been shelling Russian civilians for the past week+ admittedly to disrupt elections;
▪️As large scale military ops during the Second Chechen War came to an end, US-backed separatism in Chechnya shifted to similar terrorism across Russia - providing a recent historical example of what the US has done/is willing to do inside Russian borders;
▪️The US is still backing terrorist organizations fighting Russian, Syrian, and Iranian forces in Syria, more than capable of conducting terrorism worldwide;
▪️The US has used terrorism as a tool against its adversaries for decades and remains the most capable and likely suspect behind any terror attack of this nature;

People who did not have time to evacuate from Crocus City Hall are blocked by fire. Preliminarily, there may be about 100 of them. The roof of the building began to collapse.
To detain the terrorists, all possible forces, including those from Moscow, are being brought to the site - the security services are on alert. Governor of the Moscow Region Vorobyov also went to the site, and an operational headquarters was organized.
