Russian
military sources, as cited by Sputnik News, have reported that
footage depicting what they have identified as a false-flag chemical
weapons attack in Syria’s Idlib province is currently being filmed
and is expected to be sent to different international television
channels before the end of the day.
The news
has sparked concern that the promised retaliation from the U.S., U.K.
and France could be less than a day away.
The
Russian military sources — who work for the Russian Center for
Syrian Reconciliation, which oversees Russia’s legal military
presence in Syria — stated that “militants are now filming a
staged provocation in the city of Jisr al-Shughur, where ‘chemical
weapons’ are depicted as being used by the Syrian army against
civilians.”
Based on
information “received from inhabitants of Idlib province,”
the Russian military also stated that “film crew[s] of several
Middle Eastern TV channels arrived in Jisr al-Shughur in the morning”
along with “the regional affiliate of one of the main American
television news networks.”
The
report notes, unsurprisingly, that the staged event gives a prominent
role to the Syrian White Helmets, who will be shown “’helping’
residents of Jisr al-Shughur after the Syrian army allegedly used the
so-called barrel bombs with poisonous substances.” It also
states that the “chemical weapon” to be used in the attack is two
containers “loaded with a chlorine-based toxic substance.”
At the
time the Russian military issued the warning of an imminent
“false-flag” chemical weapons attack, these containers were
located at a grain storage site.
