This is the best summary I could come up with:
Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko said Tuesday that the alleged perpetrators in the Moscow concert hall attack were initially fleeing toward Belarus, not Ukraine, in the aftermath of the massacre on Friday.
Ukrainian officials have also denied accusations of it playing any role in the atrocity, in which nearly 140 people were killed and dozens more were injured.
So they turned away and went to the section of the Ukrainian-Russian border,” Lukashenko said about the perpetrators, according to the Belarusian state media outlet BELTA.
“The primary data we received from the detainees confirms this,” he said, repeating Putin’s claim that “the bandits themselves intended to go abroad, specifically to the territory of Ukraine.”
The U.S. Embassy in Russia issued a security alert warning on March 7 that “extremists” were planning an attack in Moscow and advised individuals to avoid large gatherings over the following two days.
Three days before the attack, Putin called the embassy’s alerts “provocative” and “outright blackmail” intended to damage Russian society.
