The US Embassy in Moscow issued an unusual “terrorism alert” to American nationals residing in the country on Sunday.

“According to media sources, there have been threats of attacks against shopping centers, railway and metro stations, and other public gathering places in major urban areas, including Moscow and St. Petersburg as well as in areas of heightened tension along the Russian border with Ukraine,” the embassy said.

In response, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) stated in a press release on Monday that it had not received any information from the FBI or CIA about threats of attacks against Russian cities, according to several Russian media sources including RT and Sputnik.
Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov commented that the issued warning was an unusual move and that the Kremlin was verifying the information with US intelligence.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also stated on Monday that Russian authorities had not found any confirmation of the alleged “threats” alluded to in the statement issued by the US mission.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Monday that the US diplomatic mission was “out of touch with reality,” seeking to sow fear among the Russian people.
“Today, it looks like a real informational terrorist attack [in media against Russia]. Yesterday, you probably saw the US embassy in Moscow acting completely out of touch with reality, terrifying the Russians,” Zakharova told Channel One Russia.
