because the snow melted, the soil turned into a mixture of mud and melted ice, as a result, they were soon detained, the militants tried to resist, but were still detained in the operation their capture was attended by fsb officers, police officers, as well as the russian national guard; from 12:00 at night, traffic along this highway was blocked for... security purposes - this is a busy highway, it connects the bryansk region, as well as the neighboring kugorsk region to the border with ukraine, only a few tens of kilometers , there are quite large settlements nearby, fortunately this territory, this forest is quite far from populated areas, and during this incident, during this special operation, none of the local residents, as well as ... the mobilists were not injured, it is reported

that during the arrest the criminals resisted, and as a result, in return fire they were wounded by those who... a pm pistol and ammunition for it were also found at the scene. yuri, yes, thank you, igor, together with you we are monitoring what is happening, we are waiting for new information from you. let me remind you that our special correspondent igor pikhanov was on direct communication from the bryansk region, where the alleged terrorists were detained. well

these are the fireplaces so that the flames cannot flare up again, well, this is of course unlikely, the work is being carried out very very carefully, if we talk about what is happening around crocus cityhall, then of course there is a cordon here, of course there is a very a lot of journalists, people, people come here to rocus city hall, a spontaneous memorial has formed, you can probably call it a memory board there, as if on a board, on such plywood accounts, flowers are mounted, that is , people bring flowers, bring carnations, uh, everything more more, those who really sympathize with everything that happened , sympathize so much with the families of the victims, that i

in the modern world, you didn’t think that the same events would happen 22 years later, that’s how the nordost happened and how it was during the chechen terrorist attacks, when i also lived in moscow, to be honest, i didn’t think at all that... we didn’t protected from terrorists , that's it, yes, we were most afraid of drones, but it turns out that we became victims again of the same terror as before, so i really hope that we will win and be able to win this war, win and get rid of everyone occupiers, among those with whom we managed talk, there were, and if i may say so, oblique eyewitnesses of everything that happened, he heard shots, he heard explosions, some noise. screams, people just live here nearby , they are the ones who come here now and bring uh flowers, uh, if we talk about the details of the terrorist attack from an expert point of view, from the point of view of analysts, the investigative committee works here, works here until the very moment it actually happened became possible when

firefighters managed to at least extinguish the raging flames, which were over an area of ​​13,000 km, so there is a lot of evidence, a lot of known evidence, these are weapons. from which terrorists shot spectators who came to the rock band picnic concert, these are shell casings, these are, of course, traces of shots on the floor, on the ceiling... in the evening, it is known that 11 people, the entire criminal group was detained, including four terrorists who directly took part in the terrorist attack in crocus city foil detained them, according to the investigative committee and the fsb public relations center in the bryansk region, there was shooting at the wheels, the suspects did not stop, all

begun working with crime suspects who were detained by intelligence services and law enforcement agencies in the bryansk region, near the border with ukraine. according to the updated number of deaths, the death toll is already 100. 15 people, analysts come to the conclusion that this was a carefully planned terrorist attack, this is evidenced by the weapons that were hidden in a cache, and the monstrous cruelty , determination, so to speak, of those terrorists who committed all this, retribution will be inevitable, this is emphasized at all levels. yuri, our correspondent anton podkovenko, now the vice speaker of the state duma, was in direct communication with crocus cityhall. and irina anatolyevna, hello, what can you say about this attack? of course,

this is a huge loss, this is a huge pain. a tragedy for our entire country, therefore , first of all, words of deepest condolences to all the relatives, victims, dead, and of course, we must understand that international terrorism is the most cruel, most insane crime, which always entails consequences and which is designed to frighten people. unfortunately, international terrorism in its manifestations is always monstrous, and we certainly understand that it is possible and necessary to counter international terrorism only through the systematic , painstaking work of the special services. in this regard, of course, it is probably very important for us to understand that today russia is confronted by a very insidious and cruel enemy. and the president , literally in march, on march 19, at the fsb board, spoke precisely

about the fact that the tragedy shows that the enemy opposing us is very serious, and that our common unity is increasing efforts to counter terrorism.

today , the entire state system in our country is preventing the commission of such crimes and suppressing such crimes. now in tobol, that tragedy, which happened, all efforts are devoted to helping and rescuing those who can be saved, but in the future, i am sure, subsequent steps will be aimed at strengthening

security measures, for this, of course, law enforcement officers need tools. the terrorist law, which i myself developed at one time, gave our law enforcement officers great opportunities, which allowed today, over the past year, to prevent more than 400 terrorist acts from being committed. we will, of course, support our intelligence services and act logically our national security. the most precious thing is the life of every citizen of our country. irina anatolyevna, thank you for your comment. let me remind you that the vice speaker of the state duma was in contact with the studio. irina yarovaya. the tragedy in the tikhvol crocus united hundreds of strangers . those who found themselves at the scene without hesitation rushed to help. our correspondent, evgeniy nipats, met with one of the heroes. now he has also made direct contact. evgeniy, tell us the details of this story. yur, hello, as eyewitnesses report that during the terrorist barbaric

attack, one of the men saw the moment when the terrorist. reloaded his weapon and took advantage of this moment, actually neutralized this terrorist , we will now learn all the details from our hero, i want to immediately note that he is worried about his own safety, for the safety of his family, he asked to keep his face a secret, and also now we are still agreed to tell us the details of what happened. mikhail, hello, thank you very much for agreeing, please tell us where you are were they at the time of the attack and how was the counteraction to these terrorists attacking? hello, at the time of the attack, my wife and i were on the beltage, closer to the left edge, we heard shots, people did not panic and

were confused and could not understand that this was some kind of prank or not. when we saw that the concert hall employees were running along the upper rows, we also realized that this meant something bad and moved to the left edge to descend, there was a queue to the emergency exit, and 2-3 minutes while we were descending from the beltage to... shots and explosions were only behind the concert hall, not inside. at that moment, when we were 10 meters away from the incubation exit , uh, at the junction of the descent from the beltage and the first floor

of the passage, there was a plastic fence, which is why the evacuation route was... very narrow , 60 centimeters, one person could squeeze through there , this outline was slowly moving, when we were already on the first floor, an explosion occurred, a seat caught fire on the first floor, the burning began, there was no heavy smoke; most likely the criminals used an explosive device to enter the concert hall. they started shooting at the walls, at people, the people who were standing began to hide behind a chair and...

at the beginning, until i saw the bloody corpses, we hoped that it was after all that they would take hostages, and that this action is aimed at some kind of demands, but when my wife and i saw, near this partition, how people were laid on the ground on the right in the corridor, it turns out that between the descent from the beltage the chairs began

cold-bloodedly shoot those lying down who were not offering resistance, there was a lot of blood, you were covering up your wife, i understand correctly at that moment, i was covering up my wife, at that moment i felt only wild horror, i was afraid that they would kill me, her everything, on this will end my life. so, that’s ridiculous, you saw a terrorist who was not far from you, what was happening? it turns out that three people walked along belyatazh, and the fourth, whom i saw, came out just from behind the descent, and i saw him near this partition, he was just before this shot people in cold blood, i looked at my wife and realized that in... i saw wild horror in her eyes, i realized that i had to do something,

at the moment when he caught up with us, he began to reload the weapon, i had a second to thinking, i accepted the movement, i pushed my wife, i ran around him to the left, and grabbed the machine gun with my left hand. pulled him down, and with my right hand began to strike him on the head, he began to uh go down, i grabbed him by the neck with my left hand and also continued to strike him, at that moment another man ran up to me one man also dealt a couple of powerful blows, he had more build and we knocked him out, what build was the terrorist, that’s what we can say, and was it difficult at that moment to fight him, the terrorist was a skinny guy. build, me 75 tall, in a cap with a beard, my vision swam, i couldn’t make out his face, well , he had dark skin, then i

didn’t have time to look, when we neutralized him, i looked to see if he was lying somewhere nearby this section to the emergency exit to the left of the stage, my wife, i didn’t see her and rushed. on the way out, i hope she will she have time to get out, that she managed to get out, what was her wife doing at that moment? at that moment my wife ran out in the other direction , to the right of the exit, and the parking lot was on the left, she tried to see if i was running out of the stream of people, while she was looking, about 100 people ran out, then we managed to talk on the phone, it turned out that i was closer to the car.

when you went after the terrorist, you understand that this, excuse me, is the only chance now to neutralize her and stay alive, what did you feel at that moment? horror, and i realized that i have to protect her, and if i miss , then a burst will shoot at me, and i won’t save her by simply blocking her, i have to attack the offender when i saw that he was reloading, this is in a second, i.. ... everything rushed at him, further, i didn’t think, then covering that maybe someone was covering him, maybe there were two of them in the corridor, then it wouldn’t

have been possible to do anything at all, he s... made the mistake of going alone, and ok, you understand that you saved dozens of people with your actions, do you have this feeling? yes, and this feeling, i realized this later, when we had already left, that in addition to my wife and me , a couple of hundred more people were saved, probably who made it, because the rest of the terrorists went to the right side of the concert hall, while they sorted it out, a lot of people managed to run out, plus uh. it’s more difficult to reach from the right side of the concert hall and effectively block the emergency exit, even if they were shooting from above, well, there is a chance to escape under the bullets, well, it turns out that we caught the first 5 minutes of the attack, that is, the minute or two that they were shooting at the corridors, here are two, well, no, even so, outside the concert hall

it takes about three or four minutes. and for about a minute we were in the concert hall. mikhail , please tell me, that’s when you saw that people were helping each other, yes, that’s when they evacuated, was there mutual aid, mutual assistance for those who were panicking, they tried to calm them down, i saw that people were pulling each other, well, they tried anyway wait for your relatives, try to get them out, but it’s very difficult when there’s a big crowd, trying to get through the seats. this made the evacuation very difficult, you feel like a hero, partly yes, but i still can’t really evaluate these events, i ’m very glad that i saved myself and my wife, we are alive, i understand that if some professional had been in my place, he could have taken possession of a weapon and fought back, well, you’ve done the maximum , what they could at that time, but

the most important thing is that you saved dozens of people, thank you very much for that. yuri, i give you the floor, this was the story of mikhail , a real russian hero, who saved dozens of people without prosecution with his brave act. yes, evgeniy nipot interviewed one of the heroes who helped victims. in several hospitals in the moscow region and moscow, doctors are doing everything necessary to save the lives and health of the victims; a total of 121 people are hospitalized, including five children. as the governor of the moscow region, andrei vorobyov, told reporters, some of the victims had complex and extremely serious injuries. in the most difficult cases, people are transferred to high-tech hospitals.

the queues at the blood center in... are not decreasing, despite the rain and bad weather, people stand for several hours, wanting to help there are a lot of victims, our correspondent sofya sergieva is in one of the centers, she has now also contacted the studio directly. sophia, what is the current situation at the donor center? yes, hello, we continue to work at the mba blood centers, the situation here is calm, despite the bad weather, people came, more than 500 people donated blood for the victims of the terrorist attack in crocus city. count, but now you see, the flow has already died down, everyone who wants has already donated their blood, several dozen more people are in the very center, directly, the fact is that the entire process of donating blood, it is practically brought to automation, it is literally put on stream, 58 people can simultaneously donate blood in various halls, there are also 12 mobile stations that allow this to be done in various parts of moscow, and according to donors, the procedure is painless, it takes, if we are talking

about collecting whole blood from... many people responded to the victims, not only here, but at all blood collection points in moscow, the moscow region, literally metre-long, multi-kilometer queues lined up to donate blood, these are eyewitnesses of the tragedy, simply caring people, representatives of the ministry, various sports organizations, today football players will separately come to the fmba center to donate blood to help the victims, donors are accompanied at the blood collection centers -
