The US considers that there is no evidence that Ukraine participated in the attack in Moscow

The United States stated this Friday that there is no evidence that Ukraine participated in the “horrible” attack that occurred this Friday in a concert hall in a shopping center on the outskirts of Moscow, where at least 40 people were killed and more than a hundred were injured.

At a press conference, one of the White House spokespersons, John Kirby, explained that the United States is still gathering information about the event, but said that “at this time there is no indication that Ukraine or Ukrainian citizens were involved.” .

“At this point, I would rule out any connection with Ukraine,” he stressed.

The spokesperson also conveyed his condolences to the victims of the attack and considered that the images of the event were “really horrible and difficult to see”.

A week before the Russian presidential elections, March 15-17, several Western embassies, including the United States, warned of possible terrorist attacks in Russia.

Specifically, the United States embassy in Russia asked American citizens on March 7 to avoid large events in Moscow, such as concerts, because there was information that “extremists” were planning some type of attack.

When asked about the matter, Kirby assured that Washington had no prior knowledge of the shooting that took place this Friday.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the international community to condemn the attack carried out by a group of armed men shortly before a rock concert in the city of Krasnogorsk, on the outskirts of the Russian capital.
