Description

Residents from Moscow and across the Moscow region continued to pay tribute to the victims of the Crocus City Hall attack, laying flowers and toys at a makeshift memorial, as seen in footage on Thursday.

"I believe this is a significant loss for the entire nation of Russia. It is truly a painful experience, and it is a pity that there are such creatures, well, you can't call them people who do such things," local resident Khristina shared.

Svetlana, another local, called for more support for the victims and their families.

"On days like this, we cannot stand aside. Now, we must all come together and, first and foremost, support those who are currently left alone with this misfortune – the loved ones of those who have passed away. We must also remember those who are no longer with us. Only by being united can we become invincible," the woman said.

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 time of publication, over 130 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 on Saturday, adding that the 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 said 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.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) also claimed the attackers planned to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border and 'had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side'.

The White House stated 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'.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement in the shooting.
