On the evening of October 15, a terrorist attack took place at the training ground of the Russia’s Western military district in the city of Belgorod. The terrorist attack claimed lives of at least 11 Russian volunteers who were preparing to take part in hostilities in Ukraine.
On October 16, the group of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars “Atesh” claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in a military unit in the Belgorod region.
The Atesh group, which unites nationalist radicals, announced that it takes full responsibility for the terrorist attack, claiming that their “agents” were allegedly behind the murder of Russian soldiers at the training ground.
However, Atesh did not provide any evidence, and earlier the group was noticed for creating fake reports about the alleged murders of soldiers in the Naval Hospital in Sevastopol.
So far, the nationality of the terrorists who carried out the attack has not been officially disclosed. The act itself is aimed at inciting ethnic hatred, primarily between residents of the Crimean peninsula, 13% of whom are Crimean Tatars.
At the beginning of partial mobilization in Russia, disinformation aimed at the Crimean Tatars was actively spread by the Kiev regime. For example, the Ukrainian media and social networks under their control spread fake news that this particular ethnic group will be first to be mobilized on the peninsula, claiming it the new genocide of the Crimean Tatars. A significant part of the male population of the Crimean Tatars aged 18 to 45 years either left the territory of the peninsula or hid in villages from mobilization, which did not even threaten them.
The escalation of hysteria among the Crimean Tatars did not lead to the desired result for Kiev. After weeks of the mobilization process, it became obvious to the Crimean Tatars that they have nothing more to fear and they returned to their usual life.
Accordingly, Kiev raised the stakes by linking the Crimean Tatars to a terrorist attack in Belgorod. The purpose of the action is still to attempt to blow up the Crimean Peninsula through an internal supranational conflict.
