Update from the border

From Ramzan Kadyrov:

“The fighters of the “AKHMAT-RUSSIA” Regiment of the Ministry of Defense of the country, deployed in the Bryansk region and providing protection of the state border between Russia and Ukraine, together with the Special Purpose Center of the FSB, detained four terrorists in the Bryansk region attempting to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border, who directly participated in the shooting of people at Crocus City Hall.

Chechen fighters arrived at the search area for the terrorists at around three o’clock in the morning and immediately began searching the area together with the FSB’s Special Purpose Center and fighters from the Leningrad Military District of the Russian Armed Forces.

With the task of capturing the killers alive, they successfully accomplished it despite the risks. None of the law enforcement officers were harmed during the special operation.

another clumsy Putin “blame-Ukraine” attempt

“Comrades, our Motherland is under attack!

Therefore, everyone must do their patriotic duty and immediately enlist and get sent to the Ukrainian front to die for my dream. Your Czar has spoken!”

“not far from the border with Ukraine,”

Border between Ukraine and Russia is closed with probably about half a million Russian soldiers stationed on the border, or inside Ukraine.

It would be much easier to cross into Turkey, whose border is open.

Maybe Russian venues should offer free tickets to off-duty armed police officers.

I rode a Greyhound bus into Indianapolis after a football game.

I was amazed at the number of police officers deployed on the streets.

Russia released another photo of the suspects.

The Ukrainians did this, we all know it. This is who they are, they use their own citizens as human shields and send terrorist in to kill civilians. I hope Russia takes em all out.

Victoria Nuland: Putin will get “nice surprises” on battlefield in 2024

Quote "even though the Islamic State group claimed responsibility in a statement"

I can believe that!

What did we learn from Putin’s speech?

In a televised address to the nation, Putin thanked the doctors and security officers who helped the victims of the Moscow attack. Here is what the Russian president said:

Putin said all four gunmen responsible for the Moscow concert hall shooting, in which at least 115 people were killed, have been detained

He said the attackers had tried to escape towards Ukraine

Putin said preliminary information showed some people on the Ukrainian side had prepared to let them cross the border from Russia - Kyiv earlier said claims of Ukrainian involvement were “absurd”

Putin announced a day of mourning for 24 March and said dozens of peaceful, innocent people were victims of the Crocus attack

Putin said all who prepared the attack would be identified and punished

The Russian president said the attack was a “barbaric terrorist act” and that the attackers “would not divide us”

I dunno. It fundamentally does not make sense to me that ISIS would go after Russia.
