    The Russian National Guard and Police have reportedly begun to establish Checkpoints at Key Intersections around the Capital of Moscow and at Exits from the City, in order to hopefully find several of Attackers from tonight’s Terrorist Attack on the Crocus Concert Hall who are believed to have Fled the Venue.

      Damn man. This is why they said the US must share all the info they have “to prove it wasn’t Ukraine”

      They couldn’t catch/kill them.

        The US warned Russia two weeks ago about this happening. And Putin called it blackmail. ISIS apparently already claimed the attack .

        And let’s be honest: Russia will find a way to blame that on Ukraine anyway.

      The Russian National Guard and Police

      “The National Guard is separate from the Russian Armed Forces.[3] A law signed by President of Russia Vladimir Putin established the federal executive body in 2016. The National Guard has the stated mission of securing Russia’s borders, taking charge of gun control, combating terrorism and organized crime, protecting public order and guarding important state facilities.[4]” source

      Reminder: Putin sent about 10% of the Russian National Guard to the Ukraine in January source

      I wonder if the effectiveness of Russian National Guard in protecting Moscow was affected Putin sending many of them to Ukraine.
