Question: The National Anti-Terrorism Committee of the Russian Federation has stated that the terrorist attack against war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky was plotted by the Ukrainian special services with the involvement of agents from among the individuals cooperating with Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. Can you comment on this information?

Maria Zakharova: We strongly condemn the barbaric terrorist attack in St Petersburg on April 2 which took the life of military correspondent Maxim Fomin a.k.a. Vladlen Tatarsky and caused harm to 32 other people. We offer our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased and wish a speedy recovery to everyone who was injured.

Russian investigators are working on this crime. We are confident that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

The involvement of the Kiev regime in this bloody attack serves as another confirmation of the fact that it uses terrorist methods.

We believe that countries and international organisations that truly condemn terrorism and stand for the safety of journalists and bloggers must give a principled assessment of this egregious terrorist attack.
