Description

Members of Russia's Investigative Committee were seen conducting inquiries along with two Crocus City Hall attacks suspects in Putilkovo near Moscow.

Footage captured on Friday depicts law enforcement officials escorting one of the defendants out of a truck, which was part of a convoy.

On Thursday, Svetlana Petrenko, the official representative of the Russian Investigative Committee, stated that "through the interrogation of the detained terrorists, examination of the technical devices confiscated from them, and analysis of information regarding financial transactions, evidence linking them to Ukrainian nationalists has been obtained."

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 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 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'.

Ukraine has not responded to the latest claims made at time of publication. 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'.
