This is the best summary I could come up with:
The final death toll from the Moscow concert hall terrorist attack could be much higher than the 140 confirmed dead, with Russian state investigations saying they have received 143 reports about people who were missing.
Earlier on Wednesday, Baza, a Telegram channel with ties to Russia’s security services, reported that 95 individuals not listed among the 120 names in the official registry of victims were unaccounted for after last week’s shooting at the Crocus City Hall.
On Tuesday, senior Russian officials close to Vladimir Putin gave the clearest indication yet that Moscow was planning to pin the blame for the attack on Ukraine and the west, despite evidence that Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), an Afghan offshoot of the terrorist group, was responsible.
Officials in Kyiv have also ridiculed the claim that the attackers planned to flee into Ukraine, pointing to the fact that the border area was full of Russian military, including special forces.
Argumenti i Fakti, a magazine owned by the government of Moscow, published a front-page story on Wednesday that read: “We know the architect of the Crocus terrorist attacks.
The UK foreign secretary, David Cameron, on Tuesday wrote in a post on X: “Russia’s claims about the west and Ukraine on the Crocus City Hall attack are utter nonsense.”
