Militants in Eastern Ghouta are preparing a provocation with a staged use of chemical weapons, which the US uses as an excuse to strike Damascus. This was stated by the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Army General Valery Gerasimov.
“We have reliable information about the preparation of staging use of chemical weapons by government troops against civilians,” he said.
According to him, a “mass meeting” of women, children and the elderly was assembled in Eastern Ghouta, who will have to depict the victims of the chemical weapons attack.
According to him, the White Helmets activists are already in place, as well as film crews with the appropriate equipment.
“This is confirmed by the discovery of a laboratory for the production of chemical weapons in the liberated town of Aftriss. According to reports, after the provocation, the US plans to accuse the government troops of Syria of using chemical weapons, to provide the world community with the so-called evidence of the alleged mass death of the civilian population through the fault of the Syrian government and the “Russian leadership supporting it,” the general added.
As a response, the American side intends to strike ” the governmental quarters of Damascus.”
