Putin: "The attack on Syria is an aggression against a sovereign State"

[G.O.G]

The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, described the attack of the government of the United States (the USA) before Syria as an act of aggression against a Sovereign state.

"This April 14, the US, with the support of its allies, launched a missile attack against the installations of the armed forces and the civilian infrastructure of the Syrian Arab Republic. Without the approval of the United Nations Security Council, in violation of the UN Charter and the norms and principles of international law, an act of aggression has been committed against a sovereign State that is at the forefront of the fight against terrorism. "Putin said in a statement released by the Kremlin.

In this regard, Russia convened an extraordinary session of the UN Security Council to discuss the aggressive actions of the US and its allies.

Similarly, the president of Russia said that Western forces "used as a pretext the staging of the use of chemical agents against the civilian po[CENSORED]tion" in Duma, since "the Russian military experts who visited the site of the imaginary incident did not find traces of chlorine or another toxic substance and no local resident confirmed the chemical attack, "he recalled.

Putin also lamented that Western countries have undertaken "military action without waiting for the outcome of the investigation" of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) mission, RT reported.

"Russia condemns with the utmost seriousness the attack on Syria, where the Russian military is helping the legitimate Government in the fight against terrorism," said the head of state.

It is worth remembering that the United States, the United Kingdom and France have decided to bomb Syria in the early hours of April 14 in response to the alleged chemical attack carried out last week in the city of Duma (Guta Oriental), of which the West accuses Bashar's government Assad without having any proof.
