The primary purpose of the campaign was to end violence and repression and force Slobodan Milosevic, the President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), to withdraw his military, police and para-military forces from Kosovo (see NATO's statement from 1999).
As terrorism experts pointed out, there is no question regarding the authenticity of the statement, made by Amaq, the official Islamic State propaganda media. The Islamic State released multiple evidence, including a gruesome video of the Moscow attack filmed by the attackers themselves, leaving little doubt about its responsibility.
US 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.

Putin himself acknowledged late on 25 March that Islamists were committing the attack. The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been the cornerstone of Russian disinformation about the country since the very beginning of the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests, when it was used to discredit the pro-European popular uprising in Kyiv and, subsequently, the broader pro-Western shift in Ukraine's foreign policy.

The US has been the leader of the global coalition to defeat it and is part of Operation Inherent Resolve to attack and degrade the capabilities of the group since 2014. Most EU members, the UK, as well as Canada and Australia have taken part in this counter-terrorism mission, while the EU established its own set of actions to counter Daesh. This disinformation message aims to discredit US and UK support to Ukrainian resistance -including financial and weapons supplies- against Russia's aggression.
