Russian officials have blamed Ukraine and accused the West of involvement in the recent terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow. Despite specific warnings from U.S. officials about a potential Islamic State attack, Russian security officials have dismissed claims and shifted blame towards Ukraine and the West. The Kremlin has also intensified anti-NATO rhetoric, framing the attack within a broader context of conflict with Western powers. The Russian government’s narrative has led to increased mobilization against Ukraine, with many Russians signing up to fight in response to the attack.
