On Friday, four gunmen killed more than 130 people in Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia. Over 100 more people are hospitalized. The men, who are citizens of Tajikistan, were taken into custody. Following the attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the men had ties to the radical Islamic terrorist group ISIS.

The attack is said to be the worst terror attack in 20 years and the deadliest ISIS attack in Europe. Video footage from the men’s bodycams has been released. ISIS also released an alleged photo of the four men wearing masks and posing in front of their flag.

However, Putin is also shifting the blame onto Ukraine despite no evidence of its involvement.

In a statement on Saturday, Putin claimed the four gunmen were “traveling toward Ukraine” where they would receive help to cross the border.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to Putin on the same day. In a video address, Zelensky criticized Putin for taking the tragedy as an opportunity to attack Ukraine.

“What happened yesterday in Moscow is obviously something that Putin and other b—— are just trying to blame on someone else. That low-life Putin, instead of dealing with his Russian citizens, addressing them, was silent for a day, thinking about how to bring it to Ukraine. Everything is absolutely predictable.”

On Sunday, 57 Russian missiles and drones rained on Ukraine for the third night in a row. Russia’s newest attack sparked comments from U.S. Ambassador Bridget Brink and Poland’s armed forces.

“For the third pre-dawn morning this week, all of Ukraine is under an air alert and has been advised to seek shelter,” Brink said. “Russia continues to indiscriminately launch drones and missiles with no regard for millions of civilians, violating international law.”

Poland’s armed forces demanded an explanation from Russia and NATO, saying Russia’s missiles violated their airspace.

Despite ISIS taking responsibility for the attack, Putin continues to lay the blame on Ukraine. The four men have since appeared in Russian court visibly beaten. One man was almost unconscious. The men have pled guilty to their charges.

After skating to reelection to a fifth term, Putin promoted the prison official who was responsible for tormenting his late opponent, Alexei Navalny.
