Russian security forces from President Vladimir Putin's entourage have accused Ukraine of involvement in the terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall. On Tuesday, March 26, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov said that Ukrainian and Western intelligence services allegedly facilitated the terrorist attack, which was being prepared by radical Islamists. Bortnikov also called for the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to be recognized as a terrorist organization.
At the same time, a number of reputable experts provide indirect and even direct evidence that the terrorist attack on concertgoers in Krasnogorsk was carried out under the control of the FSB (for example, photos and videos of strange characters in "blue" clothes who were at the scene of the attack and then took part in the detention of suspected Tajiks near the Belarusian border were recently released).

It is important for us that the world's best intelligence services - the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany - have no doubt that the horrific massacre in Krasnogorsk was committed by the Central Asian group ISIS-K (Khorasan, the letter "K" here is due to the English transcription).
The general public had never heard of it before. What does it consist of?
