Britain and France have issued warnings to Russia following a terrorist attack near Moscow, cautioning against using the incident as a pretext to escalate the conflict with Ukraine. British officials, including a senior security source cited by The Telegraph, have explicitly warned President Vladimir Putin not to interpret the Moscow attack as an excuse for intensifying the war on Ukraine. They criticized Putin's attempt to link the attack with Ukraine as unfounded. Similarly, French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken out against the exploitation of the attack to blame Ukraine, labeling such actions as cynical and counterproductive. Macron also expressed his belief that ISIS acted alone in the attack, dismissing the notion of Ukraine's involvement. The incident, reported by The Telegraph, has sparked international concern over the potential for increased hostilities in the region.
