Information about bombing comes from recognized humanitarian organizations, such as WHO, “doctors without borders”, the Syrian Center for Monitoring Human Rights, from private individuals and organizations, as well as from intelligence sources. “That is, we have a good understanding of what is happening,” Kirby said.
“And who, do you think, carried out them? After all, someone bombed these hospitals,” said the representative of the State Department. “We know that this is not a coalition and definitely not the United States. This means that only two sides remain: Russian military or Syrian military, or both of them.” At the same time, Kirby emphasized that Russia is responsible in any case, as it supports the regime of Bashar al -Assad.
Russia is able to stop bloodshed if it uses its influence on the president of Syria. “We saw in the past that when the Russians want this, they can have a strong influence on Assad,” Kirby said.
