Russian MoD: No One Asks for Antidotes Over 2 Weeks after Idlib Chemical Incident
Local Editor
In the course of two weeks since the alleged chemical attack in Syria's Khan Shaykhun, no one has asked for antidotes, the town is living its life, and the impact zone has not been identified, the Russian Defense Ministry's spokesman said on Tuesday.
"The impact zone in Khan Shaykhun, from where locals had to be evacuated, has not been identified. The town is living its life. Neither locals nor pseudo-rescuers have even asked for medicines, antidotes, decontaminants," Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.
"It is clear that, as in Iraq and Libya, there are simply no plans to carry out a qualified investigation in Khan Shaykhun by the current 'schemers' of the chemical attack," he added.
Two White Helmets videos remain the only evidence of the incident.
"It has been exactly two weeks after the incident with the alleged use of chemical weapons in Khan Shaykhun. However, the only 'proof' of the use of chemical weapons remain only two White Helmets videos," Konashenkov said.
He pointed out that US, UK and European TV-channels have not shown yet even a single "hero rescuer".
On April 4, a chemical weapons incident in Syria's Idlib province claimed the lives of some 80 people and inflicted harm on an additional 200 civilians.
The Syrian National Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, as well as a number of Western states, accused the Syrian government troops of carrying out the attack, while Damascus refuted these allegations, with a Syrian army source telling Sputnik that the army did not possess chemical weapons.
