On Thursday, Russia reported that the financial support for the Moscow theater terrorists originated from Ukraine, raising the possibility of US involvement.
As reported by RT:
The suspects in last week’s Moscow terrorist attack were linked to Ukrainian nationalists, the Russian Investigative Committee stated on Thursday, citing preliminary findings.
The perpetrators had received “significant sums of money” from Ukraine, the law enforcement agency said.
The investigators have obtained “substantiated evidence” that the suspected assailants received funding from Ukraine in the form of cryptocurrency, which was then used to prepare the terrorist attack, the statement read.
Law enforcement officers also identified and detained another suspect who was allegedly involved in financing the attack, the Investigative Committee said, without identifying the individual.
Earlier, the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr Bortnikov, told reporters that the US, UK and Ukraine may have been behind the attack. The Ukrainians may have been preparing a “window” for them to cross back over the border, the official said.
“On the other side, they were to be welcomed as heroes,” he added.
The terrorists responsible for the attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall, which resulted in the deaths of over 130 Russians, were caught while trying to escape across the border into Ukraine.
One of the terrorists said that via Telegram he received $5,400 from unknown individuals and the very same people provided the weapons.
