Earlier in the month, the US embassy in Russia issued warnings about potential extremist threats targeting large gatherings in Moscow, including concerts, advising US citizens to avoid such events.
U.S. Embassy in Moscow put this out on March 7. Clearly they picked up signals intel about something being planned and they’ll have even passed it onto the Russians as a matter of American law re: duty to inform on credible terrorism threats. https://t.co/nZ9rw0E3Qv pic.twitter.com/lgD3U1CuxD

In response to these warnings, President Putin criticized the US embassy’s actions, labeling them as “provocative” and likening them to blackmail aimed at destabilizing Russian society.
Subsequently, the US embassy in Moscow acknowledged reports of the ongoing terrorist incident at Crocus City Hall and cautioned US citizens against traveling to Russia.
Meanwhile, Ukraine, amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia, denied any involvement in the attack. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak emphasized that Ukraine has never employed terrorist methods. Podolyak also expressed concerns that Russia might exploit the attack to justify its actions and escalate military propaganda in Ukraine.
