Attention! Many reports about alleged attacks and aggression from the Ukrainian side, as well as developments in the war provided by Russian and Belarusian state media, are likely not true. Such reports may be part of an information war from the Russian Federation.

The Russians are quickly advancing procedures related to the suspects involved in the attack on Crocus City Hall. According to the Kremlin's news agency RIA Novosti, they have been transferred to the Basmanny court in Moscow.

Meanwhile, near the courthouse, security measures have been significantly tightened—metal barriers have been set up around the court, and the area is patrolled by police officers armed with automatic weapons.

Channel Mash shared on Telegram recordings of the procedures conducted in the Moscow court with one of the suspects involved in the attack on Crocus City Hall.

RIA Novosti reports that the first two men have already been charged with committing an act of terrorism, which carries a life sentence. The court also decided on their temporary detention.
