"Russia's Blame Game: Antisemitic Airport Rampage Linked to Ukraine and the West"

The Kremlin and local Russian leaders blamed Ukraine and the West for an antisemitic riot at an airport in Dagestan, claiming it was instigated through social media. Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine and the West of instigating the riot, while Ukraine's envoy to Israel accused Russian security forces of orchestrating it. The White House likened the riot to "pogroms" and rejected Russian allegations of Ukrainian involvement. The airport suffered significant damage but resumed flights, and flights to and from Tel Aviv will be temporarily redirected to other Russian cities.
