In response to statements made by the White House regarding the mass shooting incident at a concert hall near Moscow, Russia urged the United States on Friday to share any information it possesses if it is certain that Ukraine was not involved.
White House spokesperson John Kirby had earlier stated that there was “no indication at this time that Ukraine, Ukrainians were involved” in the tragic event.
Reacting to Kirby’s remarks, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova emphasized that the White House had asserted it sees no signs of Ukrainian involvement in the terrorist attack in Moscow. Zakharova’s comments underscored Russia’s expectation for cooperation from the United States in sharing relevant information concerning the incident.
The exchange of statements comes amidst ongoing investigations into the deadly shooting, which claimed the lives of scores of individuals in what has been deemed the deadliest attack in Russia in 20 years.
As authorities in Russia intensify efforts to uncover the perpetrators and motives behind the massacre, the call for information-sharing reflects the seriousness with which both nations are treating the incident. The request from Russia for collaboration underscores the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism and addressing security threats.
The situation remains fluid as investigations continue, with both Russia and the United States closely monitoring developments and seeking clarity regarding the events surrounding the tragic attack.
