KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was seeking ways to divert blame for a massacre at a concert hall near Moscow on Friday

The tragedy outside Moscow is a blow to a leader riding an aura of confidence only days after a stage-managed election victory.

Those lost include mothers, fathers, an amateur hockey player and many others.

Kyiv has accused Russia of falsely suggesting it was to blame for the terrorist attack in Moscow and of using the assault to escalate the fighting in Ukraine.

Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K, previously attacked Russia???s embassy in Kabul and has produced floods of anti-Kremlin propaganda.

More than a hundred people were killed in a packed concert venue in Moscow after gunmen opened fire.

Atrocity underscores need for vigilance in face of threat from branch of Islamic State that appears to be on the rise It was a warning that proved grimly prophetic. Just over two weeks ago, as Russias presidential election was reaching its final stages, the US embassy in Moscow said it was monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts over the ensuing 48 hours

More than 100 people were killed when gunmen opened fire inside a packed arena before setting it alight.

The attack on a concert hall in Moscow raises difficult questions for Putin at a time of global mistrust.

The assault on a popular concert hall was the deadliest act of terrorism in the Russian capital in more than a decade.
