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".

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.

There is no evidence backing the baseless allegation that the Islamic State is a an American, Israeli or a Western creation. In fact, the US and Western countries have been leading the global coalition to defeat it. However, through this false claim, this disinformation message aims to discredit US support to Ukrainian resistance, including financial and weapons supplies, against Russia's aggression.

With regard to the claim about NATO plans to send its troops to Ukraine, as the organisation itself explains:
"NATO is an alliance of 32 sovereign countries, NATO relies on the military forces of its member countries to carry out an operation or mission, as it does not possess military forces of its own.....National capitals take the final decision on whether or not to contribute to a NATO-led operation or mission".
A broad coalition of nations including the EU and the US supports Ukraine with military equipment and economic aid. Kyiv's Western partners help Ukraine to liberate all of its occupied territories and restore its sovereignty within its internationally recognised borders of 1991. Ukraine is acting in self-defence against the Russian invasion as enshrined in the UN Charter Article 51. Ukraine receives only conventional weapons. Nuclear arms and other means of mass destruction are not supplied to Ukraine.
There is no evidence to back the claim that Ukraine is preparing a chemical provocation or a use of the weapons of mass destruction.
In March 2024, the 105th session of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was held. One of the topics of the meeting was the use of chemical weapons in the war against Ukraine. Members of the OPCW Council rejected Russian accusations against Ukraine, calling them a disinformation campaign aimed at creating confusion in the Council and discrediting the OPCW. Russia was also accused of spreading unsubstantiated accusations regarding Ukraine's alleged "plans" to use chemical weapons on its own territory.
