According to the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin was informed about the attack and is being kept updated on measures on the ground.
Earlier this month, the US embassy in Russia said it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow,” including concerts. The embassy warned US citizens to avoid large gatherings.
In a speech Tuesday to Russia’s federal security agency, Putin called the embassy’s warnings about potential terror attacks in Moscow “provocative,” saying “these actions resemble outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society.”
The US embassy in Moscow on Friday said it was “aware of reports of an ongoing terrorist incident at Crocus City Hall” and advised US citizens to not travel to Russia.

Not sure you can pin this one on Putin. The notion terrorist attacks are completely preventable - even with actionable intelligence - is a fantasy.
