Russia continues to claim that Ukraine was involved in the terrorist attack in Crocus. This time, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said that the traces lead "to the special services of Ukraine." Moreover, he accused the United States of "creating" ISIS and al-Qaeda.

"They are trying to impose on us that the terrorist attack was not carried out by the Kyiv regime, but by supporters of radical Islamic ideology, possibly members of the Afghan branch of ISIS. However, it is much more important to quickly establish who is the customer and sponsor of this terrible crime," Patrushev said.

According to him, the traces of the terrorist attack lead "to the Ukrainian special services." He also believes that "the Kyiv regime is fully controlled by the United States."

"It is also necessary to take into account that ISIS, al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations were created by Washington," Patrushev added.

In addition, the Russian Security Council Secretary said that "the Ukrainian embassy in Dushanbe is recruiting mercenaries to participate in hostilities against Russia."
