RT reports that Russia’s FSB has detained two suspects who allegedly financed the Crocus City Hall terror attack. They say they have “substantiated evidence” that Ukrainian nationalists financed it with cryptocurrency.
The US says it’s “nonsense” and “propaganda.”
The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr Bortnikov, told reporters that the US, UK and Ukraine may have been behind the attack. The official said that the Ukrainians may have been preparing a “window” for them to cross back over the border. “On the other side, they were to be welcomed as heroes,” he added.
He didn’t present any evidence.
The four suspected perpetrators had previously been identified as radical Islamists, recruited through an online chat apparently operated by the Afghanistan-based offshoot of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS). ISIS-K accepted responsibility. The Russians didn’t accept that.
The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented US officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary,” the New York Times said. The Americans purportedly held back information “out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.
Asked whether the Russian authorities were aware that the US did not disclose full information on the incident beforehand, Peskov said, “No, we are not aware of that” and suggested that reports citing unconfirmed sources, as in the case with the NYT, “must be treated with great caution.”
They’re all such liars. Who do you believe?
If Russia thinks or even pretends NATO and Ukraine are involved, there could be serious repercussions.

You did not cite any lies. Russia suggested things which may have happened.
The US stated it did not participate. That may be a lie. It did not say it may have participated. The US said there were no biolabs, and that Russia blew up its own pipeline.
Neocons will of course suspect Russia only.
Russia offers information, such as with the pipeline terrorism, biolabs and other things, and the US always responds with nothing but ridicule. It’s very easy to pick the good side here.
Ukraine did it with US money, of course. What other $$$$ do they have? Our American communists – aka, Biden/Obama, and Clintons – are behind everything “Ukraine” to protect their own criminal activities.
True Putin, so far, has no solid proof, but… the USA is losing billions and billions of dollars helping Ukraine in a war that is making Russia stronger than ever. Ukraine is desperate and the Biden administration are desperate, they have tried everything against Russia, blowing up a pipe line, sanctions, etc etc each time it makes Russia stronger and… Read more »
At this point, the credibility has been established, and the USA has none.
If the CIA can so consistently do things which hurt us, then it must be intentional.
Our USA is engaged in terrorism, blowing up pipelines, and so on.
Unfortunately, the number of people I believe from our government can be counted with only 10 fingers. John Kirby is not one of them.
I believe our government as much as I believe Putin. They deserve each other.
