US and EU politicians, who authorized strikes on Syria over false evidence, will try to avoid responsibility, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, said.

“Over the past few years, the Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly stressed that sooner or later, the truth about these fabrications of Western countries would make its way to the light. And many current high-level policymakers in the United States and Europe, who then called for the ‘protection of peaceful Syrians from the regime’s terrible chemical attacks’ and authorized missile and air strikes on Syria, will try to ‘forget’ this issue to avoid moral, political and criminal responsibility”, Konashenkov said in a statement.

The remark comes after in early April 2018, the White Helmets group published a video that showed local residents, both adults and children, being treated at a hospital after an alleged chemical attack in Syria’s Douma. On 14 April, in response to an alleged chemical attack in Douma, which was immediately blamed on the Syrian army, the US, France, and the UK carried out a massive strike on a number of targets in Syria launching more than 100 cruise and air-to-surface missiles at “civilian and military facilities”.
