Details: The Belarusian ambassador noted that the secret services made efforts to close Belarus’ border to the terrorist suspects, who, according to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, were "trying to flee to Ukraine".

Quote from Krutoi: "The [Belarusian and Russian] secret services have been actively cooperating since Friday.

The chief of the [Belarusian] State Security Committee is in direct contact with his [Russian] counterpart.

In fact, the main task last night was to prevent terrorists from crossing our common border.

This task has been accomplished."

Background: Andrii Yusov, spokesman for Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence, emphasised that the claims spread by Russia about the perpetrators of the terrorist attack in Moscow Oblast supposedly attempting to flee to Ukraine "are entirely devoid of truth".
