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.
