TL;DR Summary

The director of Russia's FSB has made a bizarre claim that the US, UK, and Ukraine were involved in the recent Moscow concert hall attack, despite ISIS claiming responsibility and the US warning Russia of an imminent attack. The Kremlin's attempt to deflect questions about Russian security services' failure and justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine has led to accusations against Kyiv, which Ukrainian officials have refuted.

The four suspects, citizens of Tajikistan, appeared in a Moscow court on terrorism charges, and Putin has acknowledged radical Islamists as the perpetrators.
