Russian officials are escalating their accusations against Ukraine in the aftermath of a deadly terrorist attack in Moscow. Senior Kremlin officials are alleging that Ukraine, with the help of the West, orchestrated the attack. Despite the Islamic State claiming responsibility for the incident, the Kremlin is adamant in its claims against Ukraine.
Eight suspects have been charged with terrorism offenses in connection with the attack, but the Kremlin’s propaganda machine is still pointing fingers at Ukraine, the U.K., and the U.S. The lack of concrete evidence has not stopped Kremlin officials from continuing to blame Ukraine for the attack.
Conspiratorial thinking is widespread in Russian society, fueling false claims of Ukrainian involvement in the attack. This narrative is likely to be perpetuated by the Kremlin in order to maintain domestic support for the ongoing war against Ukraine.
The Kremlin must now find evidence to support its claims against Ukraine, as the international community watches closely. With tensions already high between Russia and Ukraine, these latest allegations are sure to further strain relations between the two countries.
