Russians lay flowers and light candles outside Crocus concert hall as senior minister says UK has little confidence in Russia’s statements on the attack
The UK’s chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has said the UK had “very little confidence” in Russia’s statements on the Moscow concert hall attack, accusing it of creating a “smokescreen of propaganda” to defend its assault on Ukraine.
At least 133 people were killed by armed gunmen at the Crocus City Hall in a suburb on the northern edge of Moscow on Friday, with the Islamic State (IS) group claiming responsibility for the attack.
I think we have very little confidence in anything the Russian government says.
We know that they are creating a smokescreen of propaganda to defend an utterly evil invasion of Ukraine.
