Is anyone interested in the terror attack in Moscow?

USA warned Putin and US nationals prior to the attack. Putin chose to ignore the warning.

Whether the Russian people are aware of that I don’t know - but Putin is trying to turn it to his advantage and blame Ukraine, largely because he needs more cannon fodder.

No, I certainly don’t sympathise with Russia, but I do feel for civilians who have died or been injured.

It suits Putin to blame Ukraine although Islamic extremists is more likely, I don’t think there are many that sympathize with Russia currently.

I was shocked when I saw the horrific terrorist attack which took place in Moscow a couple of days ago. These things always shock me and fill me with horror. All these people did was go to a concert hall and 137 of them ended up dead and many others injured. Islamic State have claimed responsibility, however Putin is blaming the Ukrainians.
There has been no thread started on Gransnet about it, which I find interesting. Is it because there is less empathy for the Russian people because of their vile war in Ukraine? I think we all probably support Ukraine in the war, but have we lost our empathy for innocent people caught up in a terrible terrorist attack because they’re Russians?
