A Sputnik correspondent asked Voronkov a number of questions, including about the committee's readiness to assist Russia in investigating the terrorist attack and the possible involvement of the Islamic State* in the attack.
"As I assume, these issues will be raised and discussed at one of the upcoming meetings of the UN Security Council, which can give appropriate instructions to its Counter-Terrorism Committee," Voronkov said.
A shooting occurred on Friday evening in the Crocus City Hall concert venue in the city of Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow, followed by a massive fire.
