ISIS having to work hard to prove they were the ones who did it, since Putin is so excited to blame Ukraine
The source sucks, but I liked the title. Of course Putin is trying to blame Ukraine in some way.
It is an interesting strategy that IS deployed, to delay the release of their videos.
This article then goes on to describe other videos (released from the Russian side, I presume?) that are horribly abhorrent:
Some of the videos of the interrogations suggest that the men were tortured by Russian security services. One of the clips, circulated by Russian bloggers, appears to show members of the security forces cutting off the ear of a man who is later interrogated over the attack and then stuffing it into his mouth. Another appears to show security forces beating a suspect with their rifle butts and kicking him as he lies in the snow.
Russian independent media noted that the officer who apparently cut off the ear of the suspect was wearing patches that indicated his support for neo-Nazi groups and appeared to have contact with the far-right Rusich paramilitary group, which is active in Ukraine. The patches included a black sun and a symbol resembling the Totenkopf – or death’s head – worn by several Nazi divisions.
Given his supposed opposition to Nazism, Putin only had to look for select members of his own population, within his own borders, to find and route out Nazis:

EDIT - an afterthought: And President Drink Bleach and his MAGAs support Putin.
Nazism is only bad when it's a small group in Ukraine with essentially no power. And, of course, Nazis in a country run by a Jewish president allows him to play the antisemitic side too.
Sorry, Vlad. Can't pin it on Ukraine anymore.
"Videos show that Ukraine's terror partner, IS, executed the cowardly act. This proves that Ukraine is a terror state that will stop at nothing to destroy Mother Russia." -- Vladimir Putin or one of his sycophants, probably.
Or the IS video is a deep fake up out by the imperial west to try to cover up the Ukrainian terror attack.
Maybe, if the goal of Ukraine is to risk losing international support just to be able to... kill a few civilians? Sounds like a very risky and convoluted plan to achieve nothing good.
Putin is afraid of ISIS in Afghanistan after Russia consistently lost their asses in Afghanistan for years. Putin is going to pretend ISIS doesn't exist because he knows he can't win against them either.
Putin is incapable of defending Russia from an enemy that lives in the stone-age. He does not know what he is doing and needs to be replaced with an actual leader.
They captured all 4 shooters? Alive? Give me a break!
Pretty sure they are on to blaming it on the CIA. I just feel bad for whatever random fall guys they picked up to pin the blame on.
They're trying hard to blame Ukraine. This undermines that.
Some of the videos of the interrogations suggest that the men were tortured by Russian security services. One of the clips, circulated by Russian bloggers, appears to show members of the security forces cutting off the ear of a man who is later interrogated over the attack and then stuffing it into his mouth.

Oh buddy this is just the tip of the ice berg. The pain they have coming to them will be beyond next level.
One of them was beaten until his eye fell out, then they cut off his genitals, and had doctors patch him up and install a catheter so more can come his way. It's not gonna be pretty and these guys will also get no mercy.
That's OK, he'll pay some people to take some hostages then wipe them and the hostages out to the last man, just to show how serious he can be.
