"Accept our sincere condolences in connection with the tragic consequences of the terrorist act in Stockholm. Our country knows about the atrocities of international terrorism well. At this hard time, Russians mourn together with the people of Sweden," the statement said.
Putin also conveyed words of support to the families of those killed and wishes of a speedy recovery to those injured.
