Some in Putin\u2019s own circle see no Ukraine link to the Moscow attack, according to Bloomberg. Russia launches an anti-ship missile at Kharkiv as power outages in the city persist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some in Putin\u2019s own circle see no Ukraine link to Moscow attack, according to Bloomberg<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no evidence of Ukraine\u2019s involvement in the terrorist attack outside Moscow on March 22, according to four people with close ties to the Kremlin, cited by Bloomberg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Vladimir Putin continues to argue that Ukraine may have had a role in the Moscow attack that killed 139 people, some of the Russian president\u2019s own inner circle disagree with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin was present at discussions where officials agreed there\u2019s no link to Kyiv, but remains determined to use the tragedy to try to rally Russians behind the war in Ukraine, according to one person with knowledge of the situation, asking not to be identified because the matter is sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kremlin officials were shocked by the failure of the security services to prevent Friday\u2019s gun attack against people attending a concert in Moscow\u2019s Crocus City Hall, according to the people. Almost nobody they know within Russia\u2019s political and business elite believes Ukraine was behind the assault, the people said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian security services failed to react promptly to the US warning and some officials may be ousted from their posts in retaliation, according to two people with links to the authorities. The attack may prompt a shake-up in the leadership of the security agencies, the people said, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 22, 139 people were killed as gunmen opened fire on concertgoers at a concert hall in Krasnogorsk outside Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kremlin said the attackers were linked to the Ukrainian government, claiming Kyiv had \u201cprepared a window\u201d to allow them to cross the border and escape into its territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyi dismissed that claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 23, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. It released photos of the gunmen. An ISIS video shows the attackers storming the Crocus Hall with guns and knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia launches anti-ship missile at Kharkiv as power outages in city persist<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, a Russian Kh-35U anti-ship missile hit a dormitory at a sports college in Kharkiv, injuring a man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[A missile] hit a dormitory at a sports college. A powerful explosion destroyed the roof and floor joists of the upper stories,\u201d head of the national police\u2019s investigation unit in Kharkiv region, Serhiy Bolvinov, said on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strike injured a civilian, \u201cthere was no military personnel or equipment on the impact site,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolvinov also said that police had collected missile debris and documented evidence of a Russian war crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kharkiv is still facing power shortages after a Russian missile strike on the city on March 22. It is difficult to say with certainty when power will be restored, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the chief executive officer of Ukrenergo told a news conference Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is still difficult to guarantee when exactly [power will be restored]. It\u2019s tentatively seven to ten days, possibly up to two weeks, before energy workers can fully restore the city\u2019s power grid if there are no new massive damages,\u201d Kudrytskyi said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the unprecedented damage, he added, power to critical infrastructure is restored and outages to households are rotated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRestrictions on power usage are now introduced during day-time hours when consumption increases. (\u2026) We have a clear plan stating what we need to do together with our colleagues from the regional energy company, regional military administration, mayor\u2019s office, and the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure to bring the situation back to normal. There are three technical solutions that we are implementing in parallel to make sure that the one that works the fastest will remove all restrictions on power usage in the city,\u201d Kudrytskyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reassured that at this stage, Ukrenergo, Ukraine\u2019s state power generator, has enough people, specialized vehicles and equipment to conduct repair works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only limiting factor is time. We need time to complete repair works and switch to reserve schemes,\u201d Kudrytskyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repairs are a task of months, he added. Ukrenergo has fortified critical energy facilities with engineering solutions to step up protection from drones and missiles that could penetrate air defense systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact amount of losses resulting from a Russian missile strike is not yet known, as at some sites works to clear debris continue, Kudrytskyi said. He added that estimated losses for the company\u2019s substations alone amount to a few dozen million euros, but the number can increase to hundreds of millions of euro in case the count includes power generation facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
