Russian authorities have accused Ukrainian military intelligence of being directly involved in the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall. The Federal Security Service (FSB) chief, Alexander Bortnikov, stated that more than 20 individuals connected to the attack have been detained. However, conflicting reports have emerged, with Russia also acknowledging for the first time that ISIS coordinated the attack on March 22nd. This admission suggests that Ukraine's involvement might be less certain than initially claimed.
