Russia: The OPCW should uncover the circumstances of the alleged chemical attack on Douma

On March 7th, Russia renewed its demand for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons( OPCW)  to conduct an honest and reliable investigation into the alleged chemical attack on  the city of Douma in the Damascus countryside in 2018.

“It will be impossible for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to carry out its work successfully until reliable results are reached about the circumstances behind the Douma incident in April of 2018 and to know what really happened that day,”TASS quoted Russia’s permanent representative to the organization Alexander Shulgin as saying.

“ The optimal international dialogue in the Organization can only be built after receiving these results and turning this sad page over, which is something that we cannot give credit for, neither to the Americans nor to their alliance,”  Shulgin added.

In March, 2020, an official at the Organization revealed the Organization’s involvement in launching a malicious and disgraceful attack against two veteran inspectors, which proved the incorrectness of the organization’s statements regarding the alleged attack in Douma and the accusation of the Syrian Arab Army to justify the US-British-French aggression against Syria at the time.

Other. WikiLeaks previously published four documents leaked from the OPCW that exclude the use of chlorine gas in Douma, and reveal that toxicologists have ruled out that deaths were due to exposure to chlorine.
