Russian organization: The “White Helmets” group is directly affiliated with the terrorist organization “Jabhat al-Nusra” in Syria

(ST)- Maxim Grigoriev, director of the Russian Research and Democracy Fund, said that the White Helmets group is  directly affiliated with the terrorist organization  Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria, relying on testimonies and statements of  more than 40 members of this terrorist group.

Grigoriev’s assertion came during a lecture held by the Russian Embassy in the French capital Paris under the title “Crisis in Syria.. facts and distortion.”

“We interviewed more than 40 members of the White Helmets terrorist group who confirmed that this organization is led by terrorist groups and provided us with information, numbers and locations of people working in them, ” Grigoriev said, stressing that more than one of white helmet’s headquarters are  run by terrorist organizations such as Jabhat al-Nusra.

The White Helmets was founded in Turkey in 2013 with British and American funding. Several documents found by the Syrian Arab Army in areas liberated from terrorism, refer to the organic relation between the White Helmets and the terrorist organizations, especially Jabhat al-Nusra through the preparation of the use of chemical weapons against civilians. This happened in the Eastern Ghouta of Damascus countryside several times and in areas of Aleppo to accuse the Syrian Arab Army.

The testimony of some people confirms that anyone who wished to join this organization, which claims to be humanitarian, should have obtained the approval of the so-called the “Shariah Committee” in the area where it is deployed, Grigoriev said. All practices of this terrorist group” White Helmets” is monitored or attended by a member of the terrorist organizations. He added.

Grigoriev pointed out that the “White Helmets” terrorist organization committed brutal crimes against humanity, noting that it was stealing  organs of Syrian citizens who had been tricked into believing in this group.

Grigoriev reiterated that all the theatrics carried out by the terrorist organization “White Helmets” had the same scenario, noting that the elements of the organization were bringing children and women covered with artificial blood to appear as victims of a chemical attack.  They paid the amount of five thousand Syrian pounds to these people, and sometimes they brought bodies of people who were already dead to show that they were killed during the alleged attack.

The US Foreign Ministry announced last year that President Donald Trump has allocated about $ 6.6 million to finance the White Helmets that linked to terrorist organizations.

The head of the General Operations Department of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Sergei Rodskoy, revealed last July that the White Helmets terrorist organization is conducting media misinformation to accuse Russia and the Syrian government of targeting civilians in Idlib.
