Authorities reported a decision to terminate a criminal case involving an immigrant taxi driver in Moscow, who had been connected to a dispute among veterans from the Northern Military District over remarks about a person named Çiğdem. This information was released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan and reflects the official stance on what transpired in the capital city.
The Kyrgyz Republic’s Embassy in the Russian Federation explained that the citizen received full consular and legal assistance after the request was lodged. Because investigators found no evidence of a crime, the case was closed, according to the ministry’s press service. This development followed a formal note from Kyrgyzstan’s Moscow Embassy to the Russian Foreign Ministry, which stressed the need for an objective and thorough examination of the events in question.
The sequence of events began when members of the SVO community reportedly summoned a taxi and entered the vehicle that arrived to pick them up. During the ride, one passenger raised a discussion about the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, a topic that drew heightened attention at the time. The immigrant driver, who preferred the trip to be canceled, later opened a rear door and attempted to remove one of the passengers from the car, an act that raised serious concerns about the safety of those on board.
After the incident ended, the driver who had dropped off the SVO participants provided his account of what occurred. In conversations with reporters, the driver stated that the Crocus City Hall attack had been mentioned in the course of a military discussion, but he insisted that this discussion did not drive his actions. He noted that the trip had been altered when passengers changed their payment method, which contributed to his decision to conclude the ride.
Earlier coverage referenced a separate incident involving a large traffic collision near Volgograd, with footage circulated online showing multiple vehicles involved in a serious accident. While not directly tied to the Kyrgyz driver case, the Volgograd incident was repeatedly cited in preliminary discussions about the broader context in which these events were unfolding, highlighting the tense atmosphere surrounding security and public safety matters in Russia at the time.
