| * Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that: "We will continue the operation against terrorists without hesitation and to the end. It is difficult to prevent such terrorist attacks and to provide security on transport. It is necessary to tighten what we do, to look at the problem on a national scale, not only relating to a certain populated area but on a national scale. Obviously, what we have done before is not enough.<ref>http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2010-03/29/c_13229439.htm</ref> | |||
| * Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin added: "It is well known that today a terrible crime against civilians in its effects and disgusting in its character was carried out....I am sure that police will do their best to find and punish the criminals. The terrorists will be destroyed."<ref>http://en.rian.ru/russia/20100329/158346686.html</ref> | |||
| * Chechen president ] said: "Terror attacks were staged in Moscow. People died and were injured. Again terrorism bids defiance to the state, society. The organizers and executors, whoever they are, are trying to spark chaos, drive Russia into the abyss of fear, distrust, undermine its economy. There should be no indifferent people in the fight against this evil. Evil does not choose its victims on the basis of national, religious, or racial traits..."During this difficult day for Russia's peoples, we declare with all responsibility that will fight against terrorists until they are completely destroyed. It is impossible to eradicate evil just by persuasion," he said, adding those guilty of the attacks "should be found and punished." <ref>http://en.rian.ru/russia/20100329/158346506.html</ref> | |||
