Larry Johnson, former CIA and US State Department analyst, says the US was quick to acquit Ukraine of any ties to the terrorist attack in Russia's capital.

    Traffic on the highway is visible near the Crocus City Hall with a warning message on a billboard that reads "We mourn 03.22.2024" on the Western edge of Moscow, Russia, Friday, March 22, 2024. (AP)

"We still don’t know how many shooters there were. We don’t know what the weapons were. We don’t know what the firearms were. We don’t know what the explosives were. We don’t know how many were actually killed, how many wounded, but yet the US State Department knows that it was not Ukraine," stated former CIA and State Department analyst Larry Johnson, according to Sputnik.

This indicates that the US government has no grounds to declare that there is no Ukrainian connection to the terrorist attack that claimed the lives of innocent Russians in Moscow.

The former analyst then highlighted another significant point stating that the statement "comes on a day that one of the CIA propaganda outlets came out and said that the Biden administration and the intelligence community were very concerned about what they call ‘brazen’, unwarranted attacks by Ukraine."

Based on these premises, the former CIA and US State Department analyst announced that he suspected that Washington had information regarding the attack, yet withheld this information from Moscow.

In turn, the Russian Foreign Minister Maria Zakharova, on her Telegram channel, questioned the US statement saying "On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions in the midst of the tragedy about anyone's innocence? If the United States has or had reliable information in this regard, then it must be immediately transferred to the Russian side."

Zakharova then stressed that "if there is no such data, then the White House has no right to issue indulgences to anyone," adding "All those involved, as stated by the Russian leadership, will be identified by the competent authorities."

As for the Deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, he underscored that "Terrorists understand only retaliatory terror."

Medvedev further emphasized that "If it is established that these are terrorists of the Kiev regime, it is impossible to do otherwise with them and their ideological inspirers. All of them must be found and ruthlessly destroyed as terrorists. Including officials of the state that committed such an atrocity."
