There is no justification for this inhuman action, as there is no justification either for the murder of 42 thousand Chechen school-age children by the Russian military, carried out on the order of the Kremlin regime and Putin personally.

The genocidal war against the people of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and the criminal-terrorist policy of the Kremlin regime are the detonator for destabilization in the entire Caucasus and in Russia itself. The countless crimes against humanity, committed by Russia on Caucasian soil, are making possible desperate, inhuman reciprocal steps, like today’s action by people who have lost their senses because of grief and losses, because of cynicism and injustice.

Confirming the unacceptability of any terrorist methods against peaceful civilians for the achievement of political goals, I am authorized to state on behalf of the President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Aslan Maskhadov, as well as the Government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, that the further escalation of the policy of terror against the peoples of the Caucasus, including the people of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, is fraught with the loss of control of the situation, with unpredictable consequences, and that the moral and juridical responsibility for this is lying personally with the President of the RF, Putin, and his clique.
