Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a new “Hitler Youth” is being created in Ukraine. He said this during a meeting on measures taken after the terrorist attack in the “Crocus City Hall”.
The head of state emphasised that the purpose of such terrorist attacks is to sow panic in Russian society, and at the same time to show Ukrainians that “for the Kiev regime is not all is not yet lost”.
“It is only necessary to follow the orders of their Western handlers, to fight to the last Ukrainian, to execute the command from Washington, to adopt a new law on mobilisation, to create something like the Hitler Youth in its new, of course, edition,” the President said.
Vladimir Putin recalled that Ukrainian nationalists back in the 20s of the last century had such an association “Union of Ukrainian Nationalist Youth”, which later became a part of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (the organisation is banned in the Russian Federation).
According to him, the Kiev authorities will eventually “beat out new weapons and additional money for this, a significant part of which can be stolen and put, as is the case in Ukraine today, in their pockets”.
The shooting and fire occurred in the evening of 22 March before a concert at the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health of the Moscow region, more than 180 people were injured after the terrorist attack, the death toll rose to 137.
On 24 March, the Basmanny court of Moscow sent four defendants in the case into custody. All of them are charged with committing a terrorist act resulting in death as part of an organised group (paragraph “b” of part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). They face life imprisonment.
On 25 March the court arrested three more defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall. Father Isroil Islomov and his two sons Dilovar and Aminchon Islomov were on the bench, all of them sent to pre-trial detention centre.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin said that all the perpetrators, organisers and customers who organised the terrorist attack at the Crocus near Moscow would be punished with “severe punishment”.
