According to cnn.com:
Attackers armed with guns and incendiary devices opened fire at random at the Crocus City complex – home to both a popular music hall and shopping center – on Friday night.
At least 133 people are known to have been killed at the vast complex, according to the latest update from Russia’s Investigative Committee on Saturday. Authorities say that number is likely to keep rising as emergency responders work through the scene.
President Zelenskyy said: “What happened in Moscow yesterday is obvious, and Putin and other scums are trying to shift the blame to someone else. Their methods are always the same. We have seen it all before. There were blown-up houses, mass shootings, and explosions. And they always blame others.
“They came to Ukraine, burned down our cities, and then tried to blame Ukraine. They torture and rape people—and then blame them. They have brought hundreds of thousands of their terrorists to Ukrainian territory, and they are waging war against us, but they don’t care about what happens inside their own country.
“All of this happened yesterday, and instead of taking care of his Russian citizens and addressing them, this duffer Putin remained silent for a day, thinking about how to link this to Ukraine. Everything is entirely predictable. Those hundreds of thousands of Russians who are now killing on Ukrainian soil would certainly be enough to deter any terrorists.
“And if Russians are willing to die quietly in “crocuses” and not question their special services, Putin will try to exploit more of these situations for personal power. Terrorists must always lose.”
