"Russia's Inner Circle Rejects Ukraine Link in Moscow Terror Attack"

Many Kremlin insiders are reportedly at odds with President Vladimir Putin's claims that Ukraine may be linked to the recent terror attack in Moscow, with few people in Moscow's top business and political circles supporting the theory. Despite Putin's public assertions, Ukraine has denied any involvement, and no credible evidence has emerged to support the claim. While Putin has switched to blaming ISIS-K for the attack, he continues to allude to a Ukrainian connection, even as his narrative is undermined by close allies like Belarusian President Alexandr Lukashenko. Putin's loyalists have advanced the theory without presenting evidence, and experts believe that Russia's security services know the attack was carried out by ISIS-K but are following orders to prove Ukrainian or Western involvement.
