MOSCOW, April 3 — Russia alleged today the “terrorist attack” that killed a top military blogger the day before was orchestrated by Ukraine with the help of supporters of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
“The terrorist attack was planned by Ukrainian security services with the help of agents working with the so-called Anti-Corruption Foundation,” Russia’s anti-terror committee said, referring to Navalny’s banned organisation.“Alexei will soon be on trial for extremism. He is facing 35 years. The Kremlin thought: ‘It’s great to be able to add the terrorism charge’,” Kira Yarmysh said.
“They put somewhere in the back without a second thought... and all of a sudden there was an explosion,” Alisa Smotrova, who was at the cafe, told AFP.The police were called at around 6.13pm on Sunday and cordoned off the street outside the building. The Kremlin condemned the “terrorist attack” and said “there is evidence... that the Ukrainian special services may be related to its organisation”.Yesterday evening Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhaylo Podolyak said the attack happened as a result of Russian infighting.
The Russian foreign ministry yesterday paid homage to the blogger and his “service to the Fatherland, which aroused Kyiv’s hatred”.
