Is Kyiv Involved in the Terrorist Attack at Crocus?

Mikhail Podolyak, an advisor to the head of Vladimir Zelensky's office, denies Kyiv's involvement in the terrorist attack that occurred at Crocus Site Hall.

“Any attempt to connect Ukraine to the terrorism is absolutely baseless. Ukraine has no connection to this incident,” Podolyak stated. According to him, the speculations from Russian special services regarding Ukraine are completely unfounded and absurd.

It is noted that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed that after the terrorist act, the perpetrators intended to cross the border between Russia and Ukraine and had certain contacts with the Ukrainian side.
