It’s not without reason

The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the American missile strike on the airfield of Syrian government Air Force, the UN News Center said . Washington and Moscow exchanged mutual accusations and warnings about the negative consequences of their policy.

The meeting was convened at the initiative of Bolivia, an inconsistent member of the Council of People's Commissars. The Deputy Secretary General of the UN for political issues of Jeffrey Feltman said that both sides of the Syrian conflict "committed crusty atrocities against their own citizens with impunity." Feltman spoke about cases of violation of the ceasefire in the last two months, in particular, that in February, government troops activated military operations in several areas of Damascus and Homs. At the same time, the Syrian government announced the presence of Jabhat Fatam Esh-Sham in these areas (former Jabhat al-Nusra), but the opposition denied this.

The US blow, according to Washington, was the answer "to the use of the Syrian government of chemical weapons" in the province of Idlib. The deputy agent noted that, the United States informed the Russian armed forces in advance about the planned airstrike and took all precautions to minimize risks for Russian or Syrian personnel at the airfield.

The Syrian government called this attack a "egregious act of aggression." Iran and Russia also condemned this attack. Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Japan supported the actions of the United States.

America will make the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad will no longer use chemical weapons, promised by the United States Permanent Representative to the UN, Nikki Haley, BBC reports . “Prevention of the spread and use of chemical weapons is an integral part of our national interests,” she said. “We are ready to go further, although we hope that this is not necessary.” Haley expressed confidence that “Assad’s strengthening will lead only to new murders”, condemning Russia and Iran in this regard.

The British representative of Matthew Ryruct called the American blow "a proportional response to the inconceivable act" Russian representative Vladimir Safronkov, for his part, called the US actions illegal and "terrorists playing on the hands." "Your one -way actions will lead the region to terrible tragedies," he said.

The Council Council did not accept any documents following the meeting.

The chemical attack on Khan-Sheikhun in the Syrian Muhafaz Idlib was committed early in the morning on Tuesday . Bombs with poisonous gases, allegedly Zarin and chlorine were thrown into the city. At least 72 people were killed, including 20 children and 17 women. The number of victims, according to various sources, amounted to more than 160 to 300 people.

On Friday, at about 3:40 a.m. local time, the American warships of Porter and Ross, on the orders of President Donald Trump, released 59 Tomahawk winged missiles from the Eastern Mediterranean. The Russian Ministry of Defense, referring to their technical means of observation, announced the low efficiency of the blow.

In response to the actions of the United States, Moscow suspended the Russian-American memorandum on the prevention of incidents and ensuring the safety of aviation flights during operations in Syria. “Having not bothering to figure out anything, the United States went to demonstrate strength, to military opposition to a country that fights international terrorism,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. “The United States is not the first time demonstrating such a thoughtless approach, which only exacerbates the problems in the world and creates a threat to international security.”

On Friday evening, the Ministry of Defense caused an American military attache. "He was officially handed a note on the suspension of the Russian side from zero hours on April 8 of the fulfillment of his obligations on the memorandum of understanding," said the official representative of the Major General Igor Konashenkov.

The press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said that Vladimir Putin considers American blows to Syria "aggression against the sovereign state in violation of international law, and under far-fetched pretext."

Russian representatives promised to strengthen the air defense of the Syrian government forces, but did not go into details. Also on Friday, the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" headed from the Black Sea to the shores of Syria, where, as expected, he would stay for about a month. However, this campaign was planned in advance.
