Syrian conflict.

   The US attack on objects in Syria is aggression, damaging both Russian-American relations and the common fight against terrorism. This opinion of Russian President Vladimir Putin was voiced by his press secretary Dmitry Peskov.

 

   "President Putin regards the American attacks on Syria as aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law, and under a far-fetched pretext," Peskov said.


   The spokesman noted that "the Syrian army does not have stockpiles of chemical weapons."
   "The fact of destruction of all chemical weapons stockpiles from the Syrian Armed Forces was fixed and confirmed by the OPCW, a specialized UN unit," he recalled. Earlier it was reported that the US attack on the base in Homs was a response to the allegedly previously committed chemical attack in Idlib, in which the US accused Damascus.
   "At the same time, in Putin's opinion, the complete disregard for the use of chemical weapons by terrorists only significantly aggravates the situation," the spokesman said.


   Putin noted that the US attack on the airbase in Syria damages the relations between Russia and the US, Peskov said.
   "This move by Washington is causing substantial damage to Russian-American relations, which are already in a deplorable condition," the spokesman said.
   "Putin also sees in the attacks on Syria from the US an attempt to divert the attention of the world community from the numerous casualties among civilians in Iraq," he added.

This guy doesnt give the direct link to the article, so cant copy it ATM.

So apparently OPCW implies it was it was the rebels who used gas (though there were 2 reported incidents lately). But their wording also leaves room for the option that Assad may have acquired chemical weapons outside the previous stockpiles.

 

Interesting, but what happened, happened.

   "I think it will be very important to see how they (the Russian Federation) react to this, both in words and in action, which really changes the situation on the ground." I believe that we are now in business, "said the former counter- Admiral of the US Navy, former official spokesman for the Pentagon and State Department, John Kirby.

The Saudi authorities said they fully support the US air strikes on military facilities in Syria. On Friday, April 7, the Saudis stated that this was the courageous decision of President Trump, which he took in response to the use of chemical weapons against civilians.

Fuck it. Now Saudis are prising this shit.

Reportedly US missile strikes targeted Shayrat airbase in Homs known to host #Russia AF presence.

Shayrat AB has nothing to do with CW programe.

Sharyat AB is know to host many of #Syria AF Su-22 and was hosting multiple #RuAF hellos.

AB was used mostly against fight against ISIS in Palmyra and Aleppo province.

There wasn't any indications before that this particular AB was a site of any CW facilities or part of the program itself.

Of all the airbases the US can target in Syria, they target the one installation the Syrian Air Force uses to specifically bomb ISIS

Decision to expand #Russia's military presence in #Syria is made by the MoD in accordance with Putin's instructions.

Whatever this means - unknown. Maybe just Grigorovich redeployment.
