U.S. Tells Russia To End Support For Syria After Chemical Attack
State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a statement that U.S. officials are closely following the “disturbing reports … regarding another alleged chemical weapons attack, this time targeting a hospital in Douma, Syria.”
“These reports, if confirmed, are horrifying and demand an immediate response by the international community,” Nauert said.
“The United States continues to use all efforts available to hold those who use chemical weapons, in Syria and otherwise, accountable,” she added. “The Assad regime and its backers must be held accountable and any further attacks prevented immediately.”
Nauert also said that Russia “ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal attacks.”
“The United States calls on Russia to end this unmitigated support immediately and work with the international community to prevent further, barbaric chemical weapons attacks,” she added.
Damascus has denied responsibility for the attack, Reuters reported.
