Zelensky rejects Putin's claims that Ukraine was involved in Moscow attack

Ukrainian president, Zelensky, has released a video statement rejecting Vladimir Putin's claims that the country had involvement in the recent Moscow concert massacre.

Despite ISIS claiming responsibility for the attack, the Kremlin still found a way to point the finger at Ukraine.

"Instead of taking care of his Russian citizens and addressing them, this duffer Putin remained silent for a day, thinking about how to link this to Ukraine", he told followers.

"Those hundreds of thousands of Russians who are now killing on Ukrainian soil would certainly be enough to deter any terrorists."

He must stink really bad wearing that same green t-shirt day after day

[Jackie_]

This puppet acting out the gaslighting

[NoLefTurnUnStoned.]

Putin didn’t say Ukraine were behind it.
He said they were caught near the Ukraine border.

[surose]

Why can't he just pay his condolences and sympathy for the victims in attack instead of spouting his insults.

[CassaRoman]

Too many lies came out of his mouth no one believes him anymore.

[olekchumak]

Zelensky nobody trust you!all your words nothing valuable!

[monkeypushingwood]

Can someone remind me of what Victoria Nuland said ?? was it something like " Russia needs to look out"

[RandleBeckford]

Not a statement of condolence to the innocent victims, but a statement to shift the blame, but at least he didn't use this opportunity to beg for money.

It's bad timing for Zelensky, Ukraine will be a consequential victim of this attack, it's just the way of things. How many times does the USA lash out when similar happens, remember weapons of mass destruction, there wasn't any.

[StuartLaw-sziq]

Britain and America came to mind, with there good old Western values.

[oryxthetakenking]

Blaming muslims is getting old, find some other excuse like CIA .

[ragnorak]

Zelensky Putin never forgets nor forgives.. this is not a modus operandi for ISIS. its all points to ukraine

[rubbercable]

But it claimed responsibility for Nordstream.
No one trust the official story anymore.

[maximuschung]

It wasn’t an attack, it was a special military operation

[KiloTango]

So because he rejects it we’re supposed to believe that?? 😂 funny how people are all about mistrust when it comes to politicians but will believe this BS 😂😂😂

[dougcane]

Not a word from Zelensky for the innocent people dying - this man is an empty shell - a body without a soul.

[Felled-angel]

Ladies and gentlemen i gave you the most successful beggar in the history of mankind

[ava-dxpu]

As southpark once said, the one who denied it, done it

[i.b]

One hundred percent it is. Britain and Ukraine are involved in this.

[gingerchili]

How long can he still be the president of Ukraine? So many ukrainians have died because of this lad.
