Agreed mass event

The Russian side knew in advance about the preparation of a chemical attack in Syria, confident in the Pentagon. Immediately after the use of poisonous substances in Khan-Sheikhun, a Russian drone was seen over the local hospital, and a few hours later the building bombed a Russian-made plane, the Associated Press reports with reference to a high-ranking American administration. Washington believes that the bombing was an attempt to hide the consequences of a chemical attack.

The appearance of a drone over the hospital, where the victims were delivered at this moment, cannot be a simple coincidence, the interlocutor of AP noted.

At the same time, according to him, Washington does not have direct evidence of Russia's complicity in a chemical attack. Another high -ranking official emphasized that the White House has not yet made a final conclusion on this subject.

Khan-Sheikhun, located in the province of Idlib, underwent a chemical attack last Tuesday. Bombs with poisonous gases, allegedly Zarin and chlorine were thrown into the city. More than 80 people were killed, including children.

British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson said that the UK will seek the adoption of the "large seven" of new anti -Russian sanctions for supporting the Bashar Assad regime. Johnson canceled the visit to Moscow . The US Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nickey Haleydoes not exclude new sanctions against Russia in connection with a chemical attack in Syria. According to her, “covering” the Syrian dictator, Russia either makes it clear that it knew about the presence of chemical weapons, or demonstrates complete incompetence.
