Vice President Kamala Harris has rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged attempt to place blame on Ukraine for the attack at a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed more than 130 people.
During an interview with ABC's Rachel Scott, Harris reiterated that ISIS was responsible for the shooting attack that sparked an inferno at the Crocus City concert hall in Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow. Russia observed a day of national mourning on Sunday and the death toll is expected to climb.
"Vladimir Putin is already trying to link this to Ukraine and say that Ukraine is responsible. Does the U.S. have any evidence to back that up?" Scott said during the interview that aired on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
"No. And first, let me start by saying what has happened is an act of terrorism and the number of people who've been killed is obviously a tragedy, and we should all send our condolences to those families," Harris responded. "No, there is no whatsoever any evidence. And in fact, what we know to be the case is that ISIS is actually, by all accounts, responsible for what happened."
