MOSCOW, February 24 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The statements of US President Donald Trump about US goals in the UAR and the "shame" of Russia have nothing to do with reality, the word "disgrace" refers to the United States for the fragmented Libya, for dismembering Yugoslavia, for the war in Iraq, the head of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs Leonid said Slutsky.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that the Americans are in Syria with one goal - "get rid of the IG *", after which they "will go home." At the same time, the politician also called "shame" what Russia and Iran did in Syria.

"The motives behind Trump's statement are absolutely clear: the United States should attribute itself to an unambiguous victory over terrorism, while minimizing the role of Russia and its partners in the Syrian settlement, but this has nothing to do with reality: Russia, unlike the US, is in Syria, to help in the fight against the IG *, whose appearance, incidentally, actually contributed to America's policy in the Middle East, "- said Slutsky RIA Novosti.

The parliamentarian recalled that Russia is doing this legally at the request of the official authorities of the RA, "again unlike the US."

"We fought and are fighting terrorists, and we are not trying to illegally overthrow the regime to meet our geopolitical interests." Russia was also ready and ready to provide assistance in the post-war settlement and resolution of the humanitarian situation in Syria, "he said.

The Syrian army is being fought against Syria by the Syrian army with the support of the Russian Civilian Space Commission at the request of official Damascus and the international coalition led by the United States, and it operates in Syria without the permission of the legitimate authorities.

Slutsky said that while the US is more trying to "divide the country into parts, not really caring about its population really."

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, had earlier warned that "in Syria, it seems very likely that the Americans have headed for the division of the country."

"So, the word" shame "does not seem to fit in with our activities, rather, it's a shame of the United States for the fragmented Libya, which actually lost statehood, for dismembering Yugoslavia, for the war in Iraq, unleashed on the basis of only a" fake "test-tube (ex- "Colin Powell, they do not seem to have understood what they did," he concluded.

The official reason for the invasion of Iraq by the US forces and the anti-Iraqi coalition in 2003 was the information of the US special services who claimed that they had found evidence of developments in Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. Any strong evidence for that was not found.
