The White House, through spokesperson John Kirby, has stated that it is premature to establish a connection between the dissatisfaction among the Russian populace with President Vladimir Putin and the recent Crocus incident, described as a mass-casualty terrorist attack, including a shopping mall attack and Alexei's death. Kirby highlighted that while there is observable opposition to Putin's governance in Russia, linking this political dissatisfaction directly to the Crocus incident or interpreting it as indicative of instability within Putin's regime at this point is not substantiated.
