Russia blames Ukraine for bomb that killed military blogger

The Hindu  

Russian authorities blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies on April 3 for orchestrating a bombing at a St. Petersburg cafe that killed a Russian military blogger who fervently supported Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and arrested a suspect accused of involvement in the attack. The National Anti-Terrorist Committee, which coordinates counterterrorism operations, said that the bombing was “planned by Ukrainian special services” and noted that Ms. Trepova was an “active supporter” of jailed Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the attacks on Dugina and Tatarsky proved that Moscow was justified in launching what it describes as “the special military operation" in Ukraine. “That is why the special military operation is being conducted.” Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian millionaire owner of the Wagner Group military contractor spearheading Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine, said he owned the cafe and allowed patriotic groups to use it for meetings.
