Putin seems to have just done another speech where he acknowledges ISIS as the perpetrator, but insinuates that Ukraine contracted ISIS to do the attack

(or that whoever makes Ukraine fight Russia is also behind the ISIS attack)
Again typical UA speak, “fight to the last ukrainian” “carry out washingtons command” Nazi references, claims of corruption…

Vladimir Putin about the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall and SVO:
“We know that the terrorist attack was carried out by radical Islamists. We are interested in who the customer is.
“The terrorist attack can only be a link for those who have been fighting us with the hands of the Kyiv regime since 2014.” And the Nazis never hesitated to use the dirtiest methods. Especially now that their counteroffensive has failed. The goal is to show that all is not lost for the Kyiv regime. We need to follow Western curators and fight to the last Ukrainian, and also create something like the Hitler Youth in a new edition.
“Despite the general pain, the investigation must proceed objectively and without bias.
— The United States, through various channels, is trying to convince everyone that there is supposedly no Kyiv trace in the bloody terrorist attack in Crocus, that it is the banned ISIS.
“We need to answer the question why the terrorists tried to go to Ukraine after committing the crime and who was waiting for them there.
— Russian society, against the backdrop of the terrorist attack in Crocus, showed real cohesion and solidarity.
