Putin: No statement about IS commitment
The Russian government initially did not comment on the IS confession. Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin rather established a connection between the attack and Ukraine. According to him, the attack was carried out by four men who were then arrested as “they moved towards Ukraine.” According to initial findings, a time window had been prepared there for them to cross the border, Putin said. Ukraine denied any involvement in the attack.
