Medvedev lists sponsors of Moscow terrorist attacker

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on his Telegram channel that French President Emmanuel Macron and a number of other Western leaders were sponsors of the largest terrorist attack in Russia in the past 20 years. Mr. Medvedev also accused the French President's plans and neo-fascism in Ukraine of "complicity".

"Accomplices: Yes, at least Mr. Macron. His rhetoric, actions, and most importantly, his sanctions against the secret operations with the Bandera regime can be considered complicity in the terrorist attack of March 22... It is clear that President Macron and a number of other Western leaders were the sponsors of this tragic terrorist attack. This will not be forgiven," Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev wrote on Telegram.

Previously, on April 4, speaking at the 12th Congress of the Russian Federation of Independent Trade Unions, President Vladimir Putin stated that, based on the investigators' report, there is reason to believe that the main goal of the masterminds behind the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall complex was to undermine the spirit of unity of the Russian people.

President Vladimir Putin noted that Russia was facing not only a carefully planned terrorist attack, but also a planned and organized mass murder of civilians. The president stressed that all perpetrators, organizers and clients of this crime will face fair and inevitable punishment.

In addition, President Putin affirmed that the most important condition for Russia's success is the spirit of unity of the country's multi-ethnic society. He emphasized: "This is the basic, main condition for Russia's success."

According to the latest figures, the terrorist attack that occurred at Crocus City Hall on the evening of March 22 left 145 people dead and 551 injured.
