Kremlin: US Accusations Against Russia on Eastern Ghouta Groundless

US Accusations Against Russia on Eastern Ghouta Groundless
US and UN accusations against Russia regarding deaths of civilians in Syria’s eastern Ghouta bombardments are completely groundless and unsubstantiated, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.

"These are groundless accusations. It is not clear on what they are based, but no specific data is provided, and this is how we assess such accusations. We do not agree with them," he told reporters.

According to US Department of States spokeswoman Heather Nauert, Damascus airforces allegedly conducted airstrikes in Eastern Ghoutta, targeting hospitals that had claimed lives of 100 civilians for the last 48 hours.

At the same time, the US Department of States has called on Russia to stop supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in view of the "escalation of violence in the Eastern Ghouta."

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said earlier in the day that Russia was working within the UN Security Council to prepare a resolution on humanitarian issues in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta.

  1. Angesichts der kritischen Situation im syrischen Ost-Ghuta ist der Verhandlungsprozess zur friedlichen Regelung des bewaffneten Konflikts im Land torpediert worden. Dies teilte der Sprecher des russischen Zentrums für Versöhnung der Konfliktparteien in Syrien, Generalmajor Juri Jewtuschenko, am Mittwoch bei einem Briefing mit.
    „Die humanitäre und sozialwirtschaftliche Lage in Ost-Ghuta ist kritisch. Die Aufrufe des russischen Versöhnungszentrums an die illegalen bewaffneten Einheiten, den Widerstand zu stoppen, die Waffen niederzulegen und ihren Status zu regulieren, blieben erfolglos", sagte Jewtuschenko.

    Diese Milizen würden in Ost-Ghuta zudem die Zivilisten daran hindern, die von ihnen kontrollierten Gebiete über den Kontrollpunkt Muhajm al-Wafidin zu verlassen.

    „Der Verhandlungsprozess zur friedlichen Regelung des Konflikts in Ost-Ghuta ist torpediert", betonte Jewtuschenko.
