In the deadliest attack in Russia, gunmen shot at least 132 people and injured 182 more in Crocus city hall on Friday night. This Attack on Russia is by far the deadliest attack for many years. Militant terrorist group Islamic State claimed the responsibility. Russian law enforcement agencies captured four people and investigations are going on. According to President Putin, the perpetrators were trying to escape Ukraine where they were supposed to be received by the Ukrainian forces. This claim was denied by the Ukrainian president Zelensky. According to the sources the United States, had warned of an attack on Russia a week before. The spokeswoman of the Russian foreign ministry Maria Zakharova in an article for the Komsomolyskaya Prawada newspaper called into question the US assertion that IS was behind the attack and further said that the US is trying to save Ukraine.
The attack on Russia will have serious implications for the Russian-Ukrainian war. Both sides are now in a state where negotiations seem to be almost impossible. Russian President already hinted at taking revenge with more vengeance. France and Russia have already exchanged the words of war. In such circumstances, the world is moving towards the Third World War with one side Ukraine and the United States, France and Western Europe, and on the other side Russia, China, and North Korea supported by Iran. However, this war can be stopped by the serious actions of the United Nations. The role of the United Nations is important. An immediate session of the Security Council involving neutral parties can save the world from the Third World War. Otherwise, it will be too late to act.
