Moscow

Russian authorities have begun the trial of 19 individuals accused of involvement in the attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow, where nearly 150 people were killed and more than 600 wounded. The attack, carried out by four gunmen from Tajikistan and claimed by the Islamic State group, is considered one of the worst terrorist incidents in Russia's history.

The incident has drawn criticism over the response of Russian security forces, with police taking over an hour to arrive at the scene. Western intelligence agencies had reportedly warned both citizens and the Russian government of a possible attack, but these warnings were dismissed by Russian officials. Moscow has also suggested, without evidence, that Ukraine was involved, a claim rejected by Ukrainian authorities.

Putin desestimó esas advertencias, calificándolas de intento de asustar e intimidar. a la sociedad rusa. En su lugar, las agencias de inteligencia rusas habían concentrado sus recursos en la invasión de Ucrania, el envío de miles de oficiales para gestionar el territorio capturado allí mientras reprimía la disidencia y la oposición a la guerra en casa. Moscú ha insistido, sin pruebas, en que Ucrania estuvo implicada de algún modo en el ataque, acusaciones que Ucrania ha tachado de dudosas y de desinformación primitiva.
