Quick Glance: Putin Blames Radical Islamists for Moscow Concert Hall Attack
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin states for the first time that 'radical Islamists' were behind the attack on a concert hall outside Moscow, suggesting Ukraine was also somehow involved.

  • During Friday's attack, camouflaged gunmen stormed into Crocus City Hall, opened fire on concert-goers, and set the building ablaze, resulting in at least 137 deaths.

  • Putin did not mention the ISIL (ISIS) affiliate that claimed responsibility for the attack. The Islamic State in Khorasan Province has repeatedly claimed responsibility since Friday, with affiliated media channels releasing graphic videos of the attackers.

  • Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to assign blame and refused to comment on reports that the US warned Moscow authorities on March 7 about a possible attack, citing confidentiality of such intelligence.

Putin's Key Ally Undermines Him Over Moscow Massacre
Quick Glance: Lukashenko Supervises Troops Near Lithuanian Border
  • During a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Russia-Belarus Union State in Saint Petersburg, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko inspected a tank battalion near the Lithuanian border and directed that any 'provocation' there must be met with force, as reported by a Telegram channel close to his administration on Tuesday.

  • Emphasizing the need to 'publicly stop any provocation', Lukashenko highlighted that 'any violation of the state border must be decisively countered'.

  • The deteriorating relations between Lithuania, a member of the European Union and NATO, and Minsk have been attributed to Lithuania's support for the opposition in Belarus.
