The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress expresses sincere condolences to the Russian people, the families and friends of the dead and wounded, and everyone affected by the monstrous terrorist act that occurred on March 22nd in the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region.

According to official information, the number of victims of the terrorist attack exceeded 130 people, and more than 150 were injured and wounded.

EAJC President Dr. Michael Mirilashvili said:

“We strongly condemn the deadly, monstrous terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk, which claimed the lives of an unimaginable number of innocent people. We mourn with the families of the victims and pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded. The EAJC leaders and all Jewish communities in the Euro-Asian region constantly warned: the dangerous spread of radical Islamism, terror, cynically and vilely hiding behind a screen of pseudo-religious ideas, is the main threat to all humanity.

As Israeli President Isaac Herzog correctly noted, jihadist terror sees no difference between a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, or anyone else. His goal is to sow chaos, hatred, destruction and death.

The people of Israel came face to face with this threat on October 7, 2023. We, more than anyone else, are aware of the existential danger it poses to everyone. Therefore, we are convinced that the whole world, without exception, must put aside divisions and political interests and work together to resist this endless evil. Only a decisive and persistent fight against terror can prevent future tragedies.”
