[@CPez]

Ya, he only stepped out of line 1 time for that guy…..

[@fredlandik5035]

He actually shook hands with two people -> here is the translation from the Russian website The President shook hands with Leonid Roshal, a legendary 91-year-old surgeon and head of the Research Institute of Emergency Pediatric Surgery and Traumatology. During the inauguration, the doctor leaned on the fence. Last year, according to some media reports, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and cysts in his brain. Vladimir Putin also embraced and kissed Alexandra Pakhmutova on the cheek. The 94-year-old composer buried her husband, poet Nikolai Dobronravov, with whom she had lived for 67 years, in the fall of 2023. He passed away after a prolonged illness.

[@BadRussian.]

The text of the FSB statement: As a result of the actions of the special services and law enforcement agencies, 11 people were detained, including four terrorists who were directly involved in the terrorist attack in Crocus, and further work is underway to identify an accomplice base. ▪After the terrorist attack, the criminals tried to escape by moving by car towards the Russian-Ukrainian border. As a result of coordinated actions of special and law enforcement agencies, all four terrorists were detained in the Bryansk region within a few hours of each other. They are currently being transferred to Moscow. Work is underway to identify all the circumstances of the terrorist attack. It has already been established that the terrorist attack was carefully planned. The weapons used by the terrorists were prepared in advance in a cache. After the terrorist attack, the criminals intended to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border and had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side. The investigation of the terrorist attack continues.
