Moscow: West Attacked Syria to Allow Terrorists to Restore Forces, Divide State

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that in a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, France’s President Emmanuel Macron refused to reveal what France says is “irrefutable evidence” of Damascus’ involvement in an alleged chemical incident in Ghouta. The top diplomat also pointed out that there was an agreement on sending French experts to the scene of suspected chemical weapons attack in Damascus’ suburb, however, “nobody contacted the Russian Defense Ministry.”
The West’s only justification of its strikes against Syria are reports from media and social networks, according to the minister.
