Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Rossiya Segodnya and RT, has publicly stated that Ukrainians, not ISIS, are behind a recent terrorist attack on Moscow City Hall. This assertion comes amid claims from various Russian state-controlled media outlets, indicating that Russian authorities have identified the perpetrators, seen their faces, and are aware of their statements during interrogations. The decision not to release the names of the accused is cited as an effort to avoid jeopardizing the ongoing investigation. This stance has sparked discussions regarding the implications for Russia, Ukraine, and the broader region, with some analysts suggesting that blaming Ukraine could be an attempt by Russia to divert attention from potential security lapses, especially since ISIS also claimed responsibility for the attack.
