U.S. dismisses Russia blaming Ukraine for deadly concert attack
The United States is dismissing as “nonsense” Russia’s allegation that Ukraine was involved in last week’s deadly Moscow attack. The White House said “it is abundantly clear” that the Islamic State was “solely responsible” for the concert hall attack that claimed more than 140 lives. National Security spokesman John Kirby said the U-S even tried to help prevent the terrorist attack. He told reporters that the U-S passed to Russian security services a written warning of an extremist attack on large gatherings in Moscow. Kirby said it was one of many such warnings provided in advance.
