DISINFO: EU and US masterminded terrorist attack near Moscow to destroy Russia

SUMMARY

It is not important whether ISIS or not committed the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall outside Moscow on 22 March 2024. It is clear that European countries and the US have declared their goal, which is to destroy Russia. They want to physically eliminate Russian citizens. They do not conceal that they had ordered this crime. Let's see what is happening in Ukraine. European troops are already fighting there in disguise. One thing is lacking. It is a declaration of war, but Russia does not need one because hostilities are already underway against Russia. It is clear who ordered this terrorist attack.

RESPONSE

This case may contain graphic/ distressing material.

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing European countries and the US of being terrorist states. This claim was made in the context of a terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall outside Moscow on 22 March 2024, which Russia has blamed on Ukraine’s special services, the CIA and MI6.

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for and shared video footage from the attacks, corroborating their claims of responsibility.

In a recent development, it has emerged that Iran had warned Moscow a few days before of an imminent attack by ISIS based on information obtained from arrested ISIS terrorists in Iran.

U.S officials have intelligence that the Islamic State group's Afghan affiliate, IS-Khorasan, is responsible for the Moscow attack.ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement. It has also recently emerged that the C.I.A. even told Russia that Islamic State terrorists were plotting an attack on Crocus City Hall, a concert venue.

Even Putin himself acknowledged late on 25 March that Islamists had committed the attack.

The EU, the US and other G7 nations do not intend to dismantle Russia. Western leaders have long been saying that they do not want to destroy Russia. US President Joe Biden, speaking in Warsaw in February 2023, addressed Russian citizens, assuring them that the US does not seek to destroy or control Russia. French president Emmanuel Macron stated in February 2023 as well that ‘Russia must be defeated but not crushed.’ A broad coalition of 54 countries provide Ukraine with military aid and technical assistance to help it stand up to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified aggression.
