"Russia Accuses Ukraine and the West of Orchestrating Moscow Terror Attack"
TL;DR
Russia is asserting that Ukraine and the West were involved in the recent deadly terrorist attack in Moscow, despite the Islamic State claiming responsibility and eight suspects being charged. The Kremlin's unsubstantiated claims have put pressure on Moscow to provide evidence, as the U.S., U.K., and Ukraine deny any involvement. Analysts suggest that the Kremlin's narrative aims to deflect attention from its intelligence failure and that Putin may genuinely believe in conspiratorial thinking.
