The whole bit about the perpetrators fleeing to the Ukrainian border I actually kinda believe.

Not because ukraine was involved but its got to be the only border anyone can get through at the moment within easy distance from moscow.

Everyone else has shut their borders

Edit: yes I know its a war zone yes I know its monitored. I also believe that you can never fully secure a land border there will always be holes AND the scum who shoot up a concert hall are not exactly at the top of the IQ range when it comes to escape plans.

Nah, I don't buy this story at all. Their car had Belarussian plates and that border is much closer and still open. I'd even argue that the UKR/RUS border is the worst place to cross with checkpoints, mines and drones everywhere. They would've been safer hiding out in a random village somewhere.

Fleeing to Belarus might as well mean staying in Russia

Of course we will never know the truth I'm sure they will have unhappy accidents next to windows

Crossing a warzone with both sides being trigger happy, covering the whole region with trenches, checkpoints, mines, drones and other troops. Yeah, totally logical choice.

It's the world's most observed and mined border. The last place anyone on the run would go

Small areas of russian land near the border is not controlled by russian army since March 12.

Eeehh, you do understand that the border with Ukraine is a warzone wasteland where they'd first have to pass the actual russian army?

It makes the least sense of all

Why people trust Russia to even have captured the attackers? They probably just stopped someone driving towards Ukraine and "these are the guys, pack them up"
