Russian President Vladimir Putin declared on Monday that Islamic militants executed last week's deadly concert attack near Moscow, which killed 139 people—but he also pointed fingers at Ukraine, sparking fresh geopolitical tensions. 🌍💥
While acknowledging the involvement of groups like ISIS, Putin questioned why attackers allegedly fled toward Ukraine and raised suspicions about who 'benefits' from the tragedy. 'The U.S. insists it’s ISIS, but we’re looking deeper,' he said, hinting at Kyiv's potential role—a claim Ukraine has repeatedly denied.
The attack, now labeled Russia’s deadliest in two decades, injured 182 people. Putin vowed a 'professional, unbiased' investigation but doubled down on linking it to the Ukraine conflict: 'Why would militants target Russia, which advocates for peace in the Middle East?' 🔍
Global analysts warn these accusations could escalate Russia-Ukraine hostilities, even as Washington urges Moscow to avoid 'political bias.' Meanwhile, families mourn amid rising questions—and no clear answers.
