The State Department spokesman Matthew Miller also called on Russia for riots at Mahachkala's airport against Israeli passengers. US Department of State Department Matthew Miller rejected the accusations of the Russian Federation about the alleged involvement of Ukraine in the anti -Jewish pogroms at Mahachkali Airport in Dagestan the day before. He stated this on October 30 during a briefing. "I saw a video of, I think, and you, it looked like pogroms.

We urge the Russian authorities to publicly condemn these violent protests to hold all those involved and to be convinced of the safe of Israelites and Jews in Russia," Miller said. The State Department spokesman also responded to Russia's statements about the alleged involvement of Ukraine in the events: "I saw their comments with the accusations of Ukraine is an absurdity, obviously. " On October 29, emergency events took place in Dagestan's dinner.

Local residents began to storm the airport through a flight that came from Tel Aviv. The plane was allegedly "refugees from Israel". Some of the protesters ran to the runway of the airfield. They also kept posters in their hands that wrote different slogans: "Children - there is no place in Dagestan" and "We are against Jewish refugees. " The rebels stopped all the cars that tried to leave the airport.

The Mahachkala authorities then began to deafle the Internet throughout the airplane, so as not to give the participants of the riots to coordinate further actions. Later it became known that the attackers were about 1,500 people. They began to be accelerated a few hours after the beginning of the events, the media said. The police and rebels were injured by about 20 people. Among the victims are nine police.
