Moscow attack: Lukashenko says attackers first tried to flee to Belarus. The Belarusian president's version contradicts Moscow's account, which claimed the alleged attackers tried to reach Ukraine.

On Tuesday, the head of Russian secret services, Alexander Bortnikov, accused Ukraine and the West of having facilitated the attack near Moscow. On Monday, Vladimir Putin admitted for the first time, three days after the events and the IS claim, that alleged attackers were “radical Islamists”, while continuing to point the finger at Ukraine.
