Russian investigators have found evidence of the Ukrainian trail in the recent acts of terrorism in Russia, including the terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall. Bearing this in mind, Moscow has demanded that Ukraine arrest and extradite to Russia all those involved in them, the Russian foreign ministry said.







"The March 22 bloody terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall, which shocked the entire world, is not the first terrorist attack on our country in recent time. The investigation conducted by Russian competent agencies reveals the Ukrainian trail in these crimes," it said.


"Bearing this in mind, the Russian foreign ministry issued a request to Ukraine’s authorities for an immediate arrest and extradition of all those involved in terror attacks under the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings and International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism," the ministry said. "Among them is SBU chief Vasily Malyuk, who on March 25 acknowledged that Ukraine had organized the attack on the Crimean Bridge in October 2022 and revealed details of other terror attacks in Russia."


"Fighting international terrorism is an obligation of each country. The Russian side demands that the Kiev regime immediately stop any support for terrorist activities, extradite those responsible and compensate the victims for the damage done to them. Ukraine’s breach of its obligations under anti-terrorist conventions will entail responsibility under international law," the ministry stressed.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also demanded that Kiev stop any support of terrorism and compensate the victims for the damage.
