Islamic State Activities in Ukraine

On March 2024, the Crocus City Hall in Moscow was attacked by jihadists belonging to the Islamic State. Three months later, the jihadists carried out another attack against police stations, synagogues and orthodox churches in Dagestan. Some in the Russian government were quick to blame Ukraine, suggesting a kind of collaboration between the government of that country and ISIS.

This article will cover what those activities have been and what did the subsequent Ukrainian governments have done to counter them.
