White House Repeats Allegations against Syria, Russia

The White House, once again, accused Russia of being involved in what it called Syria’s slaughter inside Eastern Ghouta.


“After repeatedly delaying the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2401, which demanded a 30-day cessation of hostilities across Syria, Russia has gone on to ignore its terms and to kill innocent civilians under the false auspices of counterterrorism operations,” the White House said in a statement on Sunday.

“This is the same combination of lies and indiscriminate force that Russia and the Syrian regime used to isolate and destroy Aleppo in 2016, where thousands of civilians were killed,” it said, according to The Hill.

“The civilized world must not tolerate the Assad regime’s continued use of chemical weapons,” the US statement said, referring to recent reports that the Assad government has used chemical weapons against the terrorist/rebel-held areas. The Syrian government has vehemently denied the allegations.
