CARACAS, April 18. /TASS/. The Ukrainian trace is obvious in the Crocus City Hall attack case, and the law enforcement employees exert efforts to identify the instigators of this crime, Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov said during the meeting with the Venezuelan Ministry of Interior, Justice and Peace Remigio Ceballos Ichaso in Caracas.
"The terror attack at the concert hall in the Moscow Region, which took lives of and left maimed hundreds of civilians, and shocked the global community, has become a consequence of double standards in combating crime. Of course, we take all efforts to identify all organizers, sponsors, ideological inspirers of this terrorist act and will bring them to responsibility. Punishment awaits them. But the Ukrainian trace is obvious in this terrorist act already," Krasnov said.
