“The collective West continues the campaign to discredit the efforts by Syria and Russia aimed at countering the terrorists in the Idlib zone. They [the West] are conducting all possible informational provocations, engaging the ‘White Helmets’ who tell tales about the ‘atrocities’ of Bashar Asad’s regime that brings death to ordinary Syrians. But at the same time, they do not provide any real proof of their claims, and this kind of disinformation is very difficult to counter. Especially if biased news agencies like Fox News and CBS are used to distribute various fake stories.”

They are also building plans to ‘assist in training national security forces’ in such countries as Qatar, Sudan, CAR, Chad, Madagascar, as well as ‘implementation of joint projects with Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia.’ And that, as we know, are not just plans but reality.”

“As for the question that you asked US Secretary of State on the allegations regarding Russia meddling in the US election, I would like to say that today I transmitted to Mike Pompeo a copy of an article published in the United States in 1987 claiming that the Soviet Union would try to meddle in the 1988 US presidential election.”

“Despite Aslund's (and many of his colleagues') rock-solid belief that there must be the mythical ‘Putin’s billions’ in the West, American (and not only American) intelligence agencies, which have full access to all financial transactions in the U.S., UK, the European Union and offshore jurisdictions in the Western world, could not find anything."
