On 7 March, the US Embassy in Moscow warned of a heightened risk of terror attacks in the Russian capital within the next 48 hours in places of mass gatherings, including concert venues. Later, similar warnings were issued by the UK, German and Canadian Embassies.

"Earlier this month, the US government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow — potentially targeting large gatherings, to include concerts — which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia," Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, said.

"The U.S. government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding 'duty to warn' policy," he said, referring to the US policy in the intelligence community to notify potential victims, regardless of whether they are US citizens, of certain credible impending threats.

Self-proclaimed dictator Putin subsequently called the West’s warnings as criticizing the warning as "provocative" and “blatant blackmail” that he said was intended to “intimidate and destabilise society”. Reported by TASS on March, 19.

But now Z-landia demands publicly more information as White House spokesperson John Kirby said earlier on Friday that there was "no indication at this time that Ukraine, Ukrainians were involved".
"On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions in the midst of a tragedy about someone's innocence?", rages the little Zakharova buckfunny "If Washington has information, it should be shared and that if Washington has no information, they should not be talking in such a way."

Well... 🤦‍♀️
