"Russian military experts, having visited the site of an imaginary incident, did not find traces of the use of chlorine or other poisoning matter. Not a single local resident confirmed the fact of a chemical attack," Putin added.

The day before, the representative of the Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov accused the British authorities of involvement in the creation of a supposedly staged video with the victims of the Himatia in the Duma, recorded by the Syrian humanitarian organization "White Helmets".

In response, Britain’s presents in the UN Security Council Karen Pierce called Konashenkov’s statement “wild”. “This is a grotesque, this is a impudent lie and one of the worst examples of fake news that we saw from the propaganda machine of Russia,” she added.

The actions of the United States and its allies "even more exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria, carry the suffering of the civilian population," the Putin’s statement said.

U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, John Huntsman, said that Washington had informed the Russian authorities in advance from the Syrian strike to avoid victims among the Russian military and civilians. The diplomat emphasized that "we are talking about the conflict between the superpower."

The military action of the United States and its allies in Syria "puts by and large the Cross" on the negotiation process in the Middle Eastern country, said the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. “After all, by and large, this action gave a very powerful signal to extremists and militants that they do everything right,” she added.

The US Ministry of Defense accused the United States of striking civil infrastructure along with military facilities.

The Russian embassy in Washington was called "unacceptable and unacceptable" "insulting the President of Russia." The diplomatic representatives said that the responsibility for the consequences of a blow to Syria "lies to Washington, London and Paris" and the USA "do not have the right to blame other countries."

Before the military operation against the forces of Assad, US President Donald Trump made a video message in which he accused Putin of disrupting the chemical disarmament of Syria. “In 2013, President Putin and his government promised the world that they would become the guarantors of the destruction of Syrian chemical weapons,” Trump said. “The last attack of Assad is a direct consequence of Russia's inability to keep a promise.”
