Look, girl, you live

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, before his visit to Moscow, made an ultimatum statement to Russia. It is reported by AP. The head of the State Department noted that Moscow should decide whether it will join the United States and their allies in solving the Syrian problem or will still take the side of the dictator Bashar al-Assad, Iran and Hezbollah.

Russia either does not intend to seriously ensure the fulfillment of the Assad in 2013 by the agreement on the destruction of the chemical arsenal of Damascus, or is unable to influence the dictator, Tillerson said. Whatever of the two alternatives was true, the Secretary of State added, "it does not matter for the dead."

“We cannot allow this to be repeated,” the head of the State Department emphasized, referring to the chemical attack of Assad on the city of Khan -Sheikhun, perfect on April 4.

“We want to facilitate the suffering of the Syrian people,” the Secretary of State concluded. “Russia can become a member of our project and play an important role in it. Or it will remain an ally of this group (Assad, Iran, Hezbollah. - Ed.), Although this, as we believe, no longer corresponds to its interests.”

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in connection with Tillerson, began to visit Tuesday, " counting on productive negotiations."

"Russian -American relations are experiencing the most difficult period from the end of the Cold War," the Foreign Ministry said. The department accused the administration of the previous US President Barack Obama, who "tried to artificially limit the growth of Russia's influence in international affairs and sanctions to undermine our economic development." Obama’s policy on Smolenskaya Square was called "irresponsible", since its administration "intended to prevent the objective process of the formation of a multipolar world."

"In this context, a reasonable question arises: does Washington plan to move to real cooperation with us in countering terrorism, including Syria? - Further says in the commentary. - The U.S. -Shayrat, a recent Air Basis of the Syrian government troops, is an act of aggression against the sovereign state in violation of international law, is more likely to strengthen the strengthening terrorists. "

The Foreign Ministry also announced the need to agree on a position on Ukrainian and Korean issues.

“We are tuning not to confrontation, but to constructive cooperation,” said Smolenskaya Square. At the same time, the department assured that Moscow "is ready for any development of events."

In Moscow, Tillerson will meet with the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov. As US Secretary of State previously said, he intends to raise the question of the fulfillment of his obligations to Russia to promote the destruction of the chemical arsenal Assad.

Meanwhile, the meeting of the head of the State Department with Vladimir Putin, planning on Wednesday, as of 12:20 Moscow time remained unconfirmed . Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “is not yet ready” to answer whether this meeting would take place.
