MAKHACHKALA, Russia - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday accused Ukraine and the West of instigating anti-Israel rioting at Dagestan's Makhachkala airport the previous day, an accusation that Washington has called absurd.Security forces have detained over 80 people since the incident, which saw rioters in the Muslim-majority region take over the runway on Sunday evening in an attempt to encircle a plane that had flown in from Israel.
"Who is organising the deadly chaos and who benefits from it today, in my opinion, has already become obvious... It is the current ruling elites of the US and their satellites who are the main beneficiaries of world instability," Putin said. "Against the backdrop of TV footage showing the horrors of what is happening in the Gaza Strip -- the deaths of people, children, old people, it is very easy for enemies to take advantage of and provoke the situation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.Kyiv swiftly rejected the accusations.
"We call on Russian authorities to publicly condemn these violent protests, to hold anyone involved accountable and to ensure the safety of Israelis and Jews in Russia," he said. "I have no doubt that forces who provoked this incident will stop at nothing to cause disorder in our country," the powerful cleric and Kremlin ally said.
"Political events should not set fire to our common home," Ariel Razbegayev, the 37-year-old director of the Moscow Choral Synagogue, told AFP.
