"The Russian Air Force did not attack the residential areas of Eastern Ghouta, and, moreover, unlike the US-led international coalition, Russia did not use incendiary munitions. The news spread by the fraudsters - the "White Helmets", as well as the so-called British "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" - on human suffering is a deliberate lie," the statement said.
According to a survey of hundreds of residents of Eastern Ghouta, who reached the safe areas with the support of the Russian Reconciliation Center, the so-called "White Helmets" representatives operate only in areas controlled by the "Jabhat al-Nusra" terrorists (banned in Russia), the Russian Defense Ministry said. In addition, the ministry added that residents of Eastern Ghouta have never received any assistance from them.As the Defense Ministry emphasized, this information was also confirmed by representatives of the armed opposition groups that decided to leave Eastern Ghouta for the Idlib de-escalation zone.
"Therefore, the blind willingness of certain European media to quote any false information with reference to the "White Helmets" source is once again astonishing," the Russian Defense Ministry statement added.
