Defense News ,Russia :- Russian President Vladimir Putin's tough exterior has been shaken by recent events in the nation, including the devastating terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall, as disclosed by Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov to VGTRK, as reported by TASS.
"The head of state feels the weight of these tragedies deeply. Just because he doesn't show it openly doesn't mean he's not affected. His inner turmoil is something few can comprehend," Peskov emphasized.
On the night of March 22, terrorists targeted the music venue in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region, claiming 144 lives, with 551 others injured, as updated by the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
Law enforcement has detained all four attackers and is investigating possible accomplices, suspected to have ties to Ukrainian nationalists, according to the Russian Investigative Committee.
In response to the tragedy, Russia observed its first nationwide mourning since 2018. A poignant minute of silence was held at a charity concert near the scene of the attack, paying tribute to the victims. The stage adorned with candles symbolizing cranes, and survivors bravely shared their stories amidst a musical performance led by director Valery Gergiyev.
Throughout the day, people continued to pay respects, laying flowers at the memorial site. Heightened security measures, including multiple crowd streams and metal detectors, ensured safety at the event, as reported by TASS.
The aftermath of the Crocus City Hall attack serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the defense sector in safeguarding citizens against terrorism.
