Could the Moscow attacks have been prevented? Several weeks before the Krasnogorsk attack near Moscow, the Americans reportedly warned the Russians about a potential threat. However, they appear to have gone unheeded. According to Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador in Washington, no warnings were sent to Russia.
The Russian government and media are accused of spreading propaganda as part of their information war.
Following the terror attack in Krasnogorsk, media outlets revealed that Putin ignored the American warnings. Russia was warned weeks ago about the impending danger, according to the White House.
The US government found out about a terrorist attack that might target large gatherings, including concerts, in Moscow earlier this month. “We passed this info along to the Russians,” said National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson.
Providing this information aligns with the United States’ “duty to warn” policy, Watson explained.
Americans believe the warning was directly conveyed to Vladimir Putin, who dismissed the warnings as Western blackmail aimed at intimidating and destabilizing Russia.
There was no warning received before Moscow Attack, by the Russian ambassador:
