Did you see how on March 7th the Whitehouse warned the Kremlin of intelligence about an imminent terrorist attack on  a concert or similar which Putin described as meddling and propaganda?

Apparently a cell of ISIS based in Afghanistan. Both US intelligence and the group itself claiming responsibility seems to support the idea. I'm surprised to be honest, my first thought was Putin doing it himself to muddy the waters a bit, for whatever reason he'd think it necessary. 

 

60ish dead now, 145 injured. The gunmen are currently still at large.

 

I suppose, logically, Vladimir will now want to divert some of his military capabilities towards Afghanistan...

What could possibly go wrong!

Oof, that's a big leap from the last time I checked. Not surprising by some of the footage though.

Don't worry, no need to go all the way to Afghanistan after all. Putin says it was the Ukrainians.

 

• Vladimir Putin has told the Russian people that Ukraine is linked to the Crocus City Hall terror attack on Friday night that killed at least 133 people. In a video address lasting five-and-a-half minutes, the newly relected Russian president said Russian security forces believed they had apprehended all four direct participants in the attack, who were caught heading for Ukraine, which was preparing to receive them over the border. Kyiv has rubbished the claims. 11 people have been detained in total.

• Islamic State has claimed it carried out the attack, something which Putin did not mention in his address. He described it as a “bloody, barbaric terrorist act”, Putin said the victims were “dozens of peaceful, innocent people - our compatriots, including children, teenagers, and women”. He said the Russian Federation would “identify and punish everyone who prepared the terrorist attack”.

• Ukraine has denied any link to the attack. Presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said attempts to connect the two were “absolutely untenable”. He said “Ukraine has not the slightest connection to this incident. Ukraine has a full-scale war with Russia and will solve the problem of Russia’s aggression on the battlefield”. Neither Putin nor the FSB publicly presented any proof of a link with Ukraine.

It's middle of the road these days.

£175k would be high.

It's easy for couples to earn £200k plus these days.
