Запад обвиняет режим сирийского президента Асада в применении химического оружия

На экстренном заседании Соввета Безопасности ООН, созванном в связи с предполагаемой химической атакой в пригороде Дамаска, представитель США Никки Хейли заявила, что Россия виновата в гибели мирных жителей в Сирии.

Заседание было созвано по инициативе девяти членов организации - Великобритании, Франции, США, Польши, Нидерландов, Швеции, Кувейта, Перу и Кот-д'Ивуара.

Запад обвиняет режим сирийского президента Башара Асада в применении химического оружия против мирного населения на территории Думы - одного из населенных пунктов Восточной Гуты в пригороде Дамаска.

Спецпосланник генерального секретаря ООН по Сирии Стефан де Мистура открыл заседание Совбеза по видеосвязи из Женевы, заявив, что в Восточной Гуте - регионе, контролируемом оппозицией, во время атак правительственных войск были убиты по меньшей мере 1700 человек. По его словам, десятки людей пострадали от осколочных ранений и в районах, контролируемых правительством.

По словам Мистуры, который сослался на данные неправительственных организаций, у сотен людей в сирийской Думе были обнаружены симптомы, схожие с реакцией на применение химического оружия. Спецпосланник заявил, что у ООН нет возможности проверить достоверность этой информации.

Россия заявила, что доказательств химической атаки нет. Власти Сирии сочли обвинения в адрес сирийской армии неубедительными.

Президент США Дональд Трамп заявил, что примет решение по сирийскому вопросу до 12 часов среды по времени Восточного побережья.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
