 Russia knew about preparation for terrorist attack at least a month in advance. Ukraine. Russia knew about the preparation of a terrorist attack at the Kroger City Hall Shopping Centre near Moscow for at least a month. But despite this, the Kremlin decided to allow the shooting of its citizens according to the statement of the head of the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Kirill Burdanov. At least as of February 15, 2024, Russia knew about the preparation. I'll tell you more. This information passed through the Intelligence Group in Syria. That's where it went to Moscow. It's strange how everything materialised, said Burdanov. He clarified that the Russians knew where the combat groups would come from and through which countries they would move to Russia. According to Burdanov, there are several versions of why the Kremlin allowed the terrorist attack. The first is, as they usually do, towers fighting in Kremlin to now remove several officials. The option is that they actually underestimated the scale of what would happen. They thought it would be more localised and wanted to blame Ukraine for everything the head of the Defence Intelligence believes. He reminded that the Russian authorities have already changed the version of what happened near Moscow three times, in attempts to blame Ukraine for everything. In particular, there was a version from the head of the Russian Federal Security Service, Alexander Botnikov, who blamed Burdanov himself. It's nonsense. Anyway, if we touch on this painful issue, even though he's an enemy, I don't approve of terrorist acts against civilians in principle, he added. As Burdanov emphasised, Russia sowed chaos itself, hoping to control it. There is such a persistent expression, even truth. It always works among special services. Everyone tries to create controlled chaos. Quite all more or less serious organisations tried to do this at different times. And the axiom is that none of them could make it controlled. The same thing happened here, he noted. The Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the large landing ship Konstantin Olshin-Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the large landing ship Konstantin Olshinsky with a Neptune missile. Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmitriy Pletinchuk said this. Currently, this ship is not combat capable, Pletinchuk said on national television. He added that a Ukrainian-made Neptune anti-ship missile was used for this, Ukraine, which still controls several hundred kilometres of Black Sea coastline despite Russian occupation of some of its southern regions, does not have any large warships. However, it has conducted a series of successful strikes on Russia's Black Sea fleet in recent months using missiles or seaborn drones. There was no immediate comment from Russia.
