Regardless, the Kremlin will spin this to accuse Washington and Kyiv as being behind this Islamic State terrorist attack. Makes for great domestic consumption and will further justify the upcoming otchistka instead Russia.

The Russian terrorist campaign of missiles and drones targeting Ukrainian civilians will also continue and intensify.

Yup. Already saw a report that a white van with "Ukrainian license plates" was seen in the vicinity.

No doubt this terrorist attack will prove to be a market garden of conspiracy theories. Many of which will be generated by the Kremlin. It’s just the beginning.

Russian interrogation:

Screenshot because tweet “not found.”

[Horace]

I was surprised the terrorists escaped. Usually those sorts of attacks don't have an escape plan. Also surprised that they were motivated by money rather than martyrdom, if the stories above are true.

@Horace

…if the stories above are true.

That is looking more and more like a big “if”.

@LuFins-Dad

None for Russia but plenty for the victims and their families. As it should be.

With zero amount of self-awareness, Hamas comments:

Also, one of the attackers wore a body cam. Yeah, there's video.
