Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday pushed back against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Ukraine had a hand in a terrorist attack in Moscow that killed at least 133 people.
“No,” Harris said, when asked by ABC’s Rachel Scott if the U.S. had any evidence of Ukrainian involvement in the attack on a concert hall in Russia’s capital Friday night. “And first, let me start by saying what has happened is an act of terrorism and the number of people who’ve been killed is obviously a tragedy and we should all send our condolences to those families.”
"First, let me start by saying what has happened is an act of terrorism and the number of people who've been killed is obviously a tragedy," said Vice President Kamala Harris.
“No, there is no, whatsoever, any evidence and, in fact, what we know to be the case is that ISIS-K is actually, by all accounts, responsible for what happened,” Harris added.
Putin suggested Ukrainian forces were involved during a televised address Saturday night.
Ukrainian officials have denied any involvement in the massacre, while the Islamic State group’s affiliate in Afghanistan has claimed responsibility for what’s become one of the deadliest attacks on Russian soil in recent years.Schumer urges Congress to 'step up' in supporting Ukraine aid.
