Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative depicting Ukraine and the USA as terrorist countries. The claim was made in connection with the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack in Moscow, trying to link Ukraine to the terrorist attacks in Russia without presenting any evidence.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for and shared video footage from the attacks, corroborating their claims of responsibility.
There is no evidence backing this allegation. The US has been acting as the leader of the global coalition to defeat Daesh/ISIS, and has invested massive resources and efforts for years to fight Al Qaeda. Israel is also a declared target of jihadist organisations, and has worked to thwart ISIS terror attacks worldwide and inside Israel itself.
U.S officials have intelligence that the Islamic State group's Afghan affiliate, IS-Khorasan, is responsible for the Moscow attack. "ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever," White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
The video is fake. Oleksiy Danilov never uttered these sentences. The video has been confirmed as having been generated by artificial intelligence from two previous interviews with Danilov. According to BBC Verify, "the two interviews used to create the fake video can be accessed on YouTube, one -dated 19 March- features Danilov and the other -dated 16 March- Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov".

Ukraine's international allies have repeatedly stressed that Ukraine has the right to carry out any military operations aimed at de-occupying its territories
Despite Russia's war against Ukraine, the country will not cancel social spending. Payments of pensions and social benefits are a priority for Ukraine. The Government of Ukraine has repeatedly emphasized that payments of pensions, salaries, as well as financing of education, medicine and the military sector are protected expenditure items of the Ukrainian budget, which are carried out on time and in full.
At the same time, Ukraine, together with the International Monetary Fund, plans to continue the reform of the country's pension system. This is stated in the Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policy with the IMF dated March 22, 2024 (page 95).
There were incidents where suspects were tortured and mutilated by Russian security forces, who captured this mistreatment in videos and pictures, following their arrest. The coverage of the attack in the Spanish media has unequivocally condemned this terrorist act against civilians.
