All right, Alexander, let's discuss the terror attack on Crocus City Hall.

That happened over the weekend.

And over the weekend, we saw the four terrorists taken to court as well in Russia.

Those videos are all over the internet. What are your thoughts, Alexander?

A lot of discussion, speculation. Putin gave an interesting five-minute address, many comments

from the Russian leadership,

Medvedev Sakharva.

What are your initial thoughts on this terrorist attack?

Well, I think the first thing to say is it was an absolutely horrifying, indiscriminate

attack on a venue, a purely civilian venue. Apparently a rock concert was

being held there. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of people present, mainly obviously

young people, people who are not involved in politics, not decision makers, completely civilian targets.

And it was utterly, murderously, cruelly indiscriminate. And it was, it was awful. It's one

the most horrible things. And of course, we had other attacks, terrorist attacks in the last 10, 15 years that are somewhat like that.

But, you know, we shouldn't let the fact that there have been other terrorist attacks in other places

take away from the utter horror and cruelty of what we saw happen on the 22nd of March in Moscow.

So I have a number of observations to make.

First of all, ISIS has come and claimed responsibility.

And there's been a lot of discussion about whether ISIS was involved or not.

I think the weight of the evidence now does strongly point to ISIS being involved.

I'm choosing my words carefully.

We've had, firstly, their claim of responsibility on the AMA news agency website.
