This is the best summary I could come up with:
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said the men who allegedly attacked the Crocus music hall in Moscow on Friday were initially headed to Belarus, not Ukraine — contradicting a previous claim by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We placed our units on high alert to prepare for a combat situation,” Lukashenko said at a Tuesday press conference.
The March 22 terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall, a concert venue on the outskirts of the Russian capital, resulted in 139 fatalities.
To date Russian law enforcement has apprehended eight suspects, with at least four appearing to have been tortured.
So far no evidence has been produced connecting them to either Belarus or Ukraine, although the chief of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Alexander Bortnikov, claimed today to have “primary data that we received from the detainees” allegedly confirming the men were linked to Ukraine.
Russian officials subsequently repeated the claim Ukraine had been involved, also hinting that the UK and the U.S. might have been complicit.
