03:00A memorial service to commemorate the victims of the Crocus City Hall attack was held in front of the Russian Embassy in Jakarta on Friday seven days after the tragedy.
Alongside other Indonesian organisations, the Russian-Indonesian Friendship Community, Koper Rusindo, took part in the memorial service, which was organised to express 'solidarity and condolences' for the mass shooting incident.
Footage shows Indonesian locals and Russian officials laying flowers near the memorial. Mourners are also shown standing in a moment of silence to pay their respects to those who lost their lives in the attack.
The community founder also shared that he encouraged Indonesians to observe a moment of silence simultaneously with the memorial ceremony throughout Indonesia at 3 p.m.
Russian Deputy Ambassador to Indonesia Veronica Novoseltseva, who was also present in the ceremony, has reportedly expressed gratitude to the people who participated in the event and called it the 'culmination of all the messages we have received from Indonesian citizens'.
Late on Friday, March 22, unidentified individuals dressed in military fatigues opened fire in the Crocus City Hall, a 6,000-seat multipurpose concert hall where a Russian rock band was set to perform. A massive fire broke out in the building shortly after.
At the time of publication, over 140 people were reported to have been killed. On Sunday, March 24, the Basmanny Court of Moscow ordered a number of suspects to be remanded in custody until May 22, on charges of 'terrorism'.
President Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address the following day, adding that suspects had been detained close to the border.
"They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border," Putin said.
On Monday, he reported that 'radical Islamists' were responsible but also hit out at the US for 'trying through various channels to convince its satellites and other countries of the world that, according to their intelligence, there is allegedly no trace of Kiev in the Moscow terrorist attack'.
"We want to know who ordered it," he added, while the Russian Investigative Committee subsequently said it had evidence of links to 'Ukrainian nationalists'.
Ukraine has not responded to the committee's latest claims. Following the attack, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement.
US national security spokesperson John Kirby called the investigative committee's allegations 'nonsense and propaganda'. Earlier, the United States claimed that it was a 'terrorist attack that was conducted by ISIS' and that there was 'absolutely no evidence that the government of Ukraine had anything to do with this attack'.
