Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that the detained suspected perpetrators of the Moscow shooting allegedly planned to flee to Ukraine, without providing any evidence.

Putin's address was published on March 23 almost 20 hours after the shooting, which Putin called "a bloody, barbaric terrorist act.".

According to Putin, a total of 11 people involved in the shooting have been detained, four of whom he called "the perpetrators.".

The White House said there was no indication that Ukraine was behind the Moscow attack.

Andriy Yusov, spokesperson of Ukraine's military intelligence agency, denied Russia's claims that seek to accuse Ukraine of involvement in the shooting.

HUR claimed the attack was intended to justify "even tougher" strikes on Ukraine and total mobilization in Russia.

Since then, speculation has continued that Putin and the FSB orchestrated the bombings to boost his popularity and legitimize the war. »
