Harris refutes Putin’s statement about Moscow gunmen heading to Ukraine
Vice President Challenges Claims of Ukrainian Involvement in Moscow Concert Attack
Vice President Kamala Harris stood firm against assertions linking Ukraine to the tragic events at a Moscow concert hall, directly countering Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Disputed Claims
In response to the Moscow mass shooting that claimed the lives of over 130 people, Harris appeared on This Week following the incident. Reports detailed how four individuals clad in camouflage attire stormed the concert hall and unleashed chaos by firing their automatic weapons into the unsuspecting crowd.
Putin insinuated that these gunmen, accompanied by seven others, were en route to Ukraine before their capture. When queried about the validity of Putin’s statements, Harris refuted the allegations put forward.
Clarifying the Situation
Addressing the issue, Harris expressed her deep condolences to the affected families, emphasizing the tragic nature of the act of terrorism. She highlighted the lack of evidence supporting Putin’s claims and, instead, pointed to ISIS-K as the likely perpetrator based on available information.
ISIS-K, the Afghan faction of the terrorist organization, has claimed responsibility for orchestrating the attack, a fact conspicuously absent from Putin’s public address to the nation.
Responses and Reactions
In the aftermath, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky swiftly refuted any suggestions of Ukrainian involvement and criticized Putin’s attempts to vilify his country. Zelensky denounced Putin’s tactics as “entirely predictable,” citing previous instances of similar baseless accusations against Ukraine.
These events unfolded against the backdrop of a prior warning issued by the U.S. Embassy in Russia advising American citizens to steer clear of large gatherings. The caution stemmed from intelligence indicating impending threats from extremists targeting such events in Moscow. Notably, the advisory covered a specific 48-hour timeframe following its issuance on March 7.
As the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve, Harris’ firm stance underscores the importance of discerning truth from misinformation during times of crisis.
