The Russian General Staff noticed signs of the US preparations for strikes against Syria


The United States can use provocations with staging chemists by militants to attack Syria. This is stated in the statement of the Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Colonel General Sergei Rudsky.

During a briefing that took place on Saturday, March 17, he said that attempts by militants to provoke using poisonous substances to accuse government troops of using chemical weapons against civilians do not stop. According to him, necessary components have already been delivered to Syria for carrying out such another production chemotherapy.

"We reliably know that in the area of ​​the city of Tanfa, American instructors have trained several groups of militants to carry out provocations in southern Syria using chemical weapons," Rudskoy said, quoting the Defense Ministry's message to RBC.

A representative of the General Staff said that the sabotage groups have already been transferred to the area of ​​the city of Dera, where the so-called "Free Syrian Army" are located. There, under the guise of humanitarian convoys of a number of non-governmental organizations, chemical components were delivered. In addition to components, militants were also given fuses camouflaged for cigarette packs, Rudskoy specified.

Another production chemataka, according to him, is being prepared in the areas of settlements Al-Gabid and Kalbb-Luza, located 25 kilometers north-west of Idlib. There were delivered 20 containers with chlorine.
