The official line coming out of Moscow is this attack really happened.

That's what Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump on the phone earlier today.

That is what Russian television told its viewers.

This story playing very big in the main evening news bulletin here in Russia.

However, no images were shown on TV of any aftermath of the attack or any debris.

The Russians haven't presented any evidence so far to back up the claim.

And, of course, we heard that categorical denial from Kiev that this had happened.

I think there's one thing that we can say with certainty, and that is that Moscow is using this moment to try to get Ukraine into a lot of trouble with Donald Trump.

Portraying Ukraine as a terrorist state – that's the language the Kremlin is using –

And I think clearly trying to drive a wedge once and for all between Washington and Kiev, whether that's going to be successful, we'll have to wait and see.

The story of a cybercrime case that stretches from small-town America to the back streets of Moscow.
