Lukashenko Contradicts Putin: Moscow Attackers Fleeing to Belarus, Not Ukraine

TL;DR
Belarusian President Lukashenko contradicts Russian President Putin's claims about the Moscow concert hall attackers fleeing to Ukraine, stating that they were initially fleeing toward Belarus. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, which has been confirmed by the United States, while Ukrainian officials have denied any involvement. Putin and Kremlin officials have aggressively pushed the narrative that Ukraine was involved in the attack, despite lack of evidence, and the attack came just days after Putin secured another term in office.
