Zelensky's office says Ukraine has nothing to do with the #Crocus attack

Russia's ex pres Medvedev v Telegram:
'Terrorists understand only retaliatory terror. No trials will help if force is not countered by force, and deaths by total executions of terrorists and repressions against their families.
If it is established that these are terrorists are of the Kyiv regime, it is impossible to deal with them and their ideological inspirers differently. All must be found and mercilessly destroyed. Incl officials of the state that committed such atrocity.

Death for death."

@fulelo The idea that Ukraine would have any interest in or be willing to spare the resources for an attack on Russian civilians in the middle of Moscow kind of strains credulity. "Hey, we're in the middle of enduring an unprecedented bombardment, let's launch a terror attack of a kind we've never done, which cannot serve any conceivable purpose, because we want to look evil and we've got a lot of free time."
