RUSSIAN authorities made another attempt today to pin the blame for the deadly massacre at a Moscow concert hall on Ukraine.

The Investigative Committee (IC), Russia’s top law enforcement agency, alleged that one of the detained suspects had had photos on his phone depicting troops in camouflage uniforms with the Ukrainian flag.

Ever since the March 22 mass shooting and fire at the Crocus City Hall concert venue, which killed 145 people, Russian officials have claimed that Ukraine was involved in the massacre.
