The planned chemical weapon provocation in the Syrian province of Idlib is aimed at maintaining the presence of Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group in the area, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Lavrov, who met his Saudi counterpart, Adel al-Jubeir in Moscow on Wednesday, also said that Moscow remains in contact with Washington on the situation in the militant-held Idlib province.
The Russian FM compared the terrorist presence in the province with an "abscess" that should be swiftly removed.
The Minister also noted that the overall goal in Washington with regard to war-ravaged Syria, was not really helping the country, but to push for regime change."It's not the first time the US - no matter the administration - has prioritized the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of eradicating terrorism and extremism. It happened in Iraq and Libya. Now they're trying to do the same in Syria. To phrase it more correctly - they tried to do it in Syria, but failed," Lavrov said.
Comment: Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov further
elaborated on the planned false flag, saying that the attack would be carried out by the Al-Qaeda-linked Levant Liberation Committee, which would be filmed by the White Helmets and used as a pretext by the West to carry out a large-scale military operation in Syria.
Major-General Aleksey Tsygankov also
alleged that chemical weapons were delivered to an arms depot, used by the militant group Ahrar al-Sham, "accompanied by the eight members of the White Helmets organization
". Tsygankov added that the cargo was met by two high-ranking Ahrar al-Sham commanders. He further explained about the planned false flag:
"Later, a part of the load was put in unmarked plastic barrels and transported to another militant base in the southern Idlib in order to stage the use of chemical weapons and subsequently blame the government forces of employing poisonous substances against civilians"
The Russian Defense Ministry also
pointed out that the US and its allies were intending to create a no-fly zone in northern Syria by sending cruise missile carriers to the Middle East region. That would conveniently allow them to then attack in Syria after the planned chemical provocation operation was carried out.
This all seems like a set of planned operations initiated by Western intelligence agencies to further demonize Syria and Russia and allow them to continue the US Empire's presence in Syria in order to further their regime change plans. It hasn't worked for years, yet the obstinate Americans continue to think they can change reality.
