Kremlin: US Swept Real Chemical Weapons Probe in Syria under the Rug, Prefers Labeling

Moscow categorically disagrees with the approach employed by the Americans, the Kremlin spokesman said

MOSCOW- Washington has covered up any real investigation into previous evidence on chemical weapons use in Syria and prefers labeling, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, Itar Tass reported.

The Russian presidential spokesman declined to comment directly on a statement by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who blamed Moscow for chemical weapons use in Syria, leaving “this privilege to colleagues from the Foreign Ministry of Russia.”

 “So, we categorically disagree with the approach employed by the Americans who have actually swept the real probe into previous cases of chemical weapons use under the rug,” Peskov noted.
