Those responsible will not escape punishment - vows top Russian security official Patrushev.

has been fixated on Russia for the past two years, frequently criticizing Putin in its propaganda and accusing the Kremlin of having Muslim blood in its hands - publication claims.

Through hands of the West, Ukraine has been turning into a center for spread of terrorism for 10 years, terrorists tried to flee there even after the terrorist attack in the Moscow region. Now we know in which country these bloody bastards planned to hide from persecution - Ukraine - Russian FM Spokeswoman Zakharova.

It immediately becomes obvious why U.S media shouted in unison that it was ISIS, because this is not ISIS. It’s just that the performers were selected in such a way that they could convince the stupid world community that it was ISIS. Basic sleight of hand.

All perpetrators, organizers and masterminds of this crime will face inevitable punishment, whoever they may be and whoever directed them. We will identify and bring to justice each and every individual who stands behind these terrorists, those who orchestrated this atrocity, this assault against Russia and our people
