At least one of the Tajiks is a naturalized Ukrainian citizen, and was granted citizenship essentially on the basis of being a freedom fighter

We had this discussion in the megathread and got to the conclusion that the ukrainian guy is not the same who was arrested. Cant bring up anything about the other points tho.

Yeah but to be fair this still doesnt disprove that this has to do with the ukraine war, the fact this chechen guy is there in ukraine is a hint in itself.

Sorry this just confirms to me even more its not him. Lips are thicker on the ID photo, outline of his eyes doesnt line up either, Plus the guy has weird flattened ears while the guy on the interrogation video doesnt. Thats just my take tho and it might turn out to be him in which case i will eat my words gladly.

Going by this pic of his i highly doubt its him, eyes look different, terrorist's cheekbone is more pronounced and looks way thinner as well.

"The Attackers on "Crocus" did not intend to become suicide bombers: the criminals were caught attempting to flee to Ukraine

FSB head Bortnikov reported to President Putin on the detention of 11 individuals, among whom are all four terrorists directly involved in the attack on "Crocus". The effort to identify the remaining accomplices continues, but conclusions about the situation are forthcoming, and they are disheartening for Ukraine.

The perpetrators of the attack did not intend to become "martyrs." They wanted to live long and happily after their horrific crime. That’s exactly why they quickly retreated, not waiting for the assault to begin and did not try to take hostages. This does not resemble the typical actions of Islamist terrorists, but rather resembles the actions of mercenaries from sabotage groups, who were promised cover, escape, and a generous reward. None of the scoundrels intended to die for ideas or anything similar — it was purely cold calculation.

As for who sponsored them — this can be understood by the direction of their escape. " - Readovka

Edit: to clarify this is the telegram interpretation of what happened. What is known for now is that 11 ppl were arrested, the terrorists were heading towards ukraine and "they had approppriate contacts there", whatever that means.

Edit 2: anyway it does look a lot more like ukraine had to do something with this. Whether it was official or some mercenaries told to go rogue is not at all clear yet.

Edit 3: BBC reporting curiously omitting the part of the FSB statement about where they were captured, where they headed and who they had contacts with.

Well not exactly on the road to Ukraine but they were caught in Bryansk, so its pretty obvious where they were heading.

Not gonna jump to conclusions just yet, i was gonna say i wonder why they didnt go towards the baltic but it seems this is just the shortest route out of the country to another not allied with russia.

So apparently the moscow attackers are Tajiks.

Some sources say two of them were caught on the road towards Ukraine. There's a pretty gnarly photo out there with one of the alleged attackers with his left eyelid cut off/eye gouged.

ngl if i would have to suffer through a pitbull show id do the same.

Ackshually he did propose a law that would forgive 0,0000000001% of everyone's student loan who has worked exactly 37 minutes and 28 seconds on the 10 mile vicinity of a GM factory in the last seven thursdays that people in the committee used to wipe their asses with so you are just ignorant when you say he's not really doing anything.

With a communist opposition? Zero.
