The reported plan—which includes giving up territory to Russia—is a nonstarter for Kyiv, according to top Ukrainian officials.
Alexander Demidenko had reportedly helped hundreds of Ukrainians flee Russia and return home.
The Kremlin claimed they were “directly involved” in financing the attack, which left at least 140 people dead.
The alleged culprits behind the deadly shooting in Moscow had ambitions for attacks beyond Russia, according to Western intelligence agencies.
Vladimir Putin’s new proposal for Russia’s borders might just be a thinly veiled attempt at seizing more Ukrainian territory, experts warn.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack—which has killed at least 115 people, according to Russian authorities—while Ukraine has denied any involvement in the attack.
The Kremlin has recruited so many inmates to boost its manpower in the war in Ukraine that some Russian prisons are shuttering altogether.
