The attempt by the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to accuse Ukraine of a terrorist attack near Moscow came as a shock even to European far-right politicians, states the Chair of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence of the European Parliament, Nathalie Loiseau, at a briefing in Kyiv.

According to Loiseau, Europe knows that the Kremlin head has invested huge funds to support far-right parties across the European Union. In this way, he seeks to gain trusted individuals and useful idiots who spread his propaganda.

The MEP adds that they are a democratic society, so there is no censorship as such, but member states are increasingly exposing the realities of foreign interference.

She reminds that the recent terrorist attack at the Crocus City Mall near Moscow was carried out by ISIS terrorists. But Putin immediately blamed Ukraine.

According to her words, Western European society, even far-right politicians, was shocked to see the Russian president ignoring reality and preferring to point to the usual culprit - Ukraine.

It should be noted that far-right radicals in the European Union most often actively oppose aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia and continue to attempt to improve relations with the Kremlin.

Terrorist attack near Moscow

On Friday, March 22, unknown individuals armed with weapons stormed the Crocus City Mall when there was a large gathering of people. Civilians were shot en masse.

As of today, it is known that over 100 Russians have died and a large number have been injured.

The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Ukraine is supposedly involved in the terrorist attack. He fantasized that the suspects who were detained were "headed toward the Ukrainian border."

Such a version has been repeatedly refuted by Western countries. In particular, the White House stated that such accusations are Kremlin propaganda.
