Ukraine involvement
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has said the perpetrators of the attack on Moscow’s concert hall were en route to the border with Ukraine when they were apprehended. The FSB has told President Putin that 11 people had been detained, including four people directly involved, and further work was under way to identify more accomplices, Interfax news agency cited the Kremlin as saying. The suspects had contacts within Ukraine, the FSB added.
Ukraine’s presidential advisor, reacting to the Moscow attack, earlier said “Ukraine had absolutely nothing to do with these events”.

Attributions
George Galloway MP in a post on X said:
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said in a broadcast on Prva TV channel:
- "Calls from the US and British embassies for their citizens not to visit the shopping centre in Moscow indicate that their intelligence services had information about possible terrorist attacks.
- “On March 7, the American embassy called on its citizens not to visit the shopping centre. Then the British and someone else did the same.
- "This means that their intelligence services intercepted certain negotiations, received information and knew that something would happen.”[7]
Maria Zakharova, Russian spokesperson said:
- “The White House said it saw no indication that Ukraine or Ukrainians were involved in the terrorist attack in Moscow.
- "On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions about anyone's innocence in the midst of a tragedy? If the United States has or had reliable information in this regard, then it must be immediately transferred to the Russian side.
- "And if there is no such data, then the White House has no right to issue indulgences to anyone.
