ntelligence agencies and law enforcement are looking at certain Western government officials as part of an investigation into the funding of terrorist attacks such as the massacre at Crocus City Hall and the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines, the Russian Investigative Committee announced on Tuesday.
The probe was launched after a referral by several Russian lawmakers, which accused the US and its allies of organizing the March 22 attack on the Moscow concert venue.
Investigators are currently looking at the potential involvement of “specific individuals from among government officials, people with civic and commercial organizations of Western countries,” said committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko.
It has already been established that funding for terrorist attacks inside Russia has been funneled through Ukrainian companies, including the notorious Burisma Holdings – former employers of US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter – Petrenko added.
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia has also said it would follow the evidence leading to “persons and structures located in the US, Germany, France and Cyprus.”
In addition to last month’s Crocus City Hall attack, the investigation is looking at other terrorist acts, including the assassinations of prominent public figures and the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in international waters.
Investigators are establishing the connections between the direct perpetrators of terrorist acts and “foreign curators, organizers and sponsors,” Petrenko added.

None of the comments below want to address the elephant in the room. What do Hamas and ISIS have in common? Islam. Let’s be honest - you’ve got a problem in your religion that you need to address.

People are terrified of speaking the truth if it sounds like it is "politically incorrect" or "insensitive" against a particular culture or religion. This fails to recognize that some cultures and religions (not people, mind you) are inherently flawed ideologically.

Putin hoped to restore a Russian Federation on same mighty scale as Soviet Union 1970 by invading Ukraine.
What he accomplished is more like the Soviet Union 1991: military defeat, economic shock, internal strife and violence, and total collapse.
I advise all Russians (middle class, rich, poor alike) to leave Russia ASAP. From now on there will be more violent attacks, bombs exploded, random deaths, super inflation than ever. Like a repeat of the Soviet Union 80s and Russia early 90s on steroid.
Karma.

The Russians won't be defeated if America doesn't get its act together & restore its military support for Ukraine. They'll win.

I don't see it. How is Putin "threatened" by a terrorist attack? The anti-Russian propagandists are getting so desperate they don't know which way to turn. On one hand, they claim that Putin did this himself to strengthen his hand. On the other hand, he is weakened and "threatened" by not being able to prevent it. Which one is it? Reality is it's neither. It's just terrorism perpetrated by crazy homicidal fanatics. It can and does happen everywhere - in democracies, autocracies and dictatorships - and it does not really "threaten" authorities anywhere. People are not stupid - they understand that it is difficult to prevent few crazed lunatics from arming themselves and going on a murdering spree. If anything, people tend to unite in their revulsion and disgust at the perpetrators.

The Russians clearly see it.
Putin directed FSB to focus NOT on its key remit to prevent terrorist attacks but on massive disinformation campaign in US and western nations to divide western society and undermine democracy as it successfully achieved with pro-Kremlin Fico re-election in Slovakia.
Similarly, Putin sent MASSIVE 35,000 national guardsmen to curb Ukrainian resistance in occupied Donbas (Newsweek 9 January 2024). Both actions led to NO ONE PROTECTING concert venue for Russian citizens that Putin has VOWED to safeguard leading to ISIS tragic attack. Russians know the deaths were AVOIDABLE.
Expect Russian citizens by the 1000s to protest and DEMAND Putin’s resignation for his DERELICTION OF DUTY and DEMAND to “Bring them home” ( Russian forces in Ukraine and national guard) to protect Russians.

Russia's best years are well behind it. The demographic collapse is coming around the corner. And then Tsar Putin does his part to accelerate the demise of the Slavic race. I suspect we have not yet seen peak Russian paranoia. The world is becoming more unstable by the day.
