At least 40 people were killed and over 100 others injured in a mass shooting and grenade attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow on Friday.
“I think this terrorist attack was prepared in advance. It was a response to all the strikes we have carried out [in Ukraine] over the last five or six days. I would like to say one more thing – that the state which for some reason we call Ukraine today is a terrorist state which has completely violated all international laws. It uses illegal methods of fighting,” military observer and Afghanistan and Syria combat veteran Anatoliy Matviychuk told Sputnik, expressing no doubts in the Zelensky regime's culpability.
Matviychuk believes Kiev’s Western curators clearly “gave them the go-ahead” for Friday’s carnage, citing warnings by the US Embassy in recent weeks about the terror threat in Moscow and other Russian cities.
Characterizing the terrorist incident as a “declaration of war,” Matviychuk said Russia will have to respond accordingly, and “provide our armed forces with unlimited capabilities to destroy terrorists wherever they are.”
Just as “the Americans launched an ‘anti-terrorist operation’ in Afghanistan after the attack on the Twin Towers, we must now launch exactly the same operation against the Zelensky regime and its allies,” he said.
Three camo clad gunmen burst into the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Krasnogorsk, Moscow region on Friday evening, opening fire and throwing grenades or incendiary bombs, setting the building ablaze. Russia's Federal Security Service says at least 40 people have been killed and over 100 injured in what Russian investigators have classified as an act of terrorism.
