- The FSB stated, "We are grateful to the American side for providing the information," marking rare cooperation despite Sergei Naryshkin, Russia's foreign intelligence chief, previously calling U.S. warnings "too general."
- This cooperation follows the 2024 United States warning regarding the Crocus City Hall attack, which killed 145 people. Russia's Investigative Committee is evaluating legal action against the detained minor.
