Citizens of Russia,
I am addressing you today in connection with a horrific and savage act of terrorism, which claimed the lives of dozens of peaceful, innocent people – our compatriots, including children, teenagers, and women. Doctors are fighting to save the lives of the victims in critical condition. I am confident that they will do everything within their power, and even beyond, to preserve the lives and health of all those injured. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to ambulance crews, air ambulance teams, special forces, firefighters, and rescuers, who made every effort to save lives and rescue people from the gunfire, from the epicentre of fire and smoke, preventing even greater losses.
I cannot but acknowledge the help provided by ordinary citizens who, in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, did not remain indifferent or apathetic and provided first aid and transported the victims to hospitals, working alongside doctors and special agencies’ personnel.
We will provide the necessary support to all the families whose lives have been affected by this horrible atrocity, to the wounded and the injured. I express my deepest and most sincere condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones. The entire country, all our people are grieving together with you. I declare March 24 a day of national mourning.
Additional anti-terrorist and anti-sabotage measures have been introduced in Moscow, the Moscow Region, and all regions of the country. Our top priority now is to prevent those behind this bloody massacre from committing another crime.
Regarding the investigation of this crime and the results of the operational search action, we can currently say the following. All four perpetrators, who were directly involved in the terrorist attack, all those who shot and killed people, have been found and apprehended. They attempted to escape and were heading towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary information, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the state border. A total of 11 people have been detained. The Federal Security Service and other law enforcement agencies are working diligently to identify and expose the accomplice base behind these terrorists: those who provided them with transport, planned escape routes from the crime scene, and prepared caches with weapons and ammunition.
The investigative and law enforcement agencies will spare no effort to establish all the details of this crime. However, it is already clear that we are confronted not simply with a carefully and cynically planned terrorist attack, but a premediated and organised mass murder of peaceful, defenceless people. The perpetrators cold-bloodedly and deliberately targeted our citizens, including our children, with the intent to kill them at close range. Like the Nazis who once carried out massacres in the occupied territories, they planned to stage a demonstrative execution, a bloody act of intimidation.
All perpetrators, organisers and masterminds of this crime will face fair and inevitable punishment, whoever they may be and whoever directed them. I emphasise once more: we will identify and bring to justice each and every individual who stands behind these terrorists, those who orchestrated this atrocity, this assault against Russia and our people.
We understand what the terrorist threat means. In this regard, we rely on cooperation with all states that sincerely share our pain and are ready to really join forces in the fight against a common enemy, international terrorism and all its manifestations.
Terrorists, murderers, those inhumane individuals who have no nationality and cannot have one, face one and the same gloomy prospect – retribution and oblivion. They have no future. Our common duty now, shared by our comrades–in-arms at the front and all citizens of our country, is to stand united as one. I am confident that we will, for nothing and no one can shake our unity and will, our determination and courage, the strength of the united people of Russia.
No force will be able to sow the poisonous seeds of discord, panic or disunity in our multi-ethnic society.
Russia has weathered the most arduous, sometimes unbearable trials more than once, yet it has emerged even stronger. And so it shall be now, as well.

My opinion of the USA and its obedient slave nations was again swayed against the West by the fall of Yugoslavia and the scapegoating of the Serbs. I was left with a deep-seated dislike for NATO, our joint military project, and the abhorrent US political system…
March 24, 1999 and for 77 more days us in the USA watched our government bomb and bomb and bomb…

The number of deaths from terrorist actions has increased and exceeded a hundred. This is truly a tragedy. Once again I offer my condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims. We mourn with you.
This is a big tragedy. But its scale is much larger and deeper than it seems at first glance. We are already seeing how enemies are trying to undermine the situation from within, using the national issue as always.
Russia has been and will be multinational. In this I personally see her strength, power, greatness. And it is precisely because of this quality that her enemies always try to strike at the first favorable moment. Under no circumstances should civil persecution be tolerated on grounds of nationality or religion. Law enforcement agencies now soberly follow this principle. But there are already alarm bells when some false patriots, far from the state’s national policy and national security, play on people’s feelings and call for fascist methods.
Let me remind you that we are already successfully fighting neo-Nazism, and nothing will prevent us from just as successfully fighting nationalist manifestations within the country. The conversation with instigators of ethnic cleansing will be short, within the framework of the iron law of the Russian Federation. So let’s look at things prudently, be objective citizens and useful to the state, and not voluntary free puppets of Western intelligence services.
We need a strong and united Russia.
Patience and peace to everyone.
And may justice prevail!Kadyrov

UK left the EU and it happened because the USA pressured the EU to let them go. Then that set the stage for the UK to try to become the crown of Europe again except, the USA has the UK “by the you know what” and will try to take the UK down after the EU folds financially and physically…
As the situation of Empire of Lies collapsed, it will eat itself. Lies is the keyword. It has become obvious that Germany is going down hard and soon the EU will be unviable…
Nothing makes sense, yet that is what does make sense. Scared, sick, evil people will always point the finger and try to take their allies down to save themselvs. That is what happens when they meet a wall of strength and that wall is too strong…
They can’t eat Russia so they eat each other…
The question is: Will London eat DC or DC eat London?

“Actually, for the success of our cause, it would be nice if the restless French dispatched a couple of regiments to ‘Banderaland.’ It would be very problematic to hide such a number of servicemen, so systematically eliminating them would not be the most difficult task, but surely the most important one. But, just think of the beneficial knock-on effect!” he wrote on his Telegram channel.

It was possible to argue that the USA was, at different points in it’s history, on the righteous side of that history…
Nevertheless, the USA is nowhere near the correct side of any modern history anymore and it seems that now it wants to rewrite history to suit its fantasy’s of being the only side of any history…
