Moscow-Sana

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on the United States to take concrete measures to end the situation it has created in Syria and not to pay attention only to "oil installations" for its own purposes.

"It is time to move on to some constructive measures and the field in this area is very broad, especially in the humanitarian direction," Zakharova said at her weekly news conference in Moscow, referring to the United States.

The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that the US occupation forces in Syria are looting and stealing oil at the state level, which is contrary to the norms of international law. The ministry published a map of the oil fields in Syria and pictures of satellites taken last September showing the convoys of tanks that transport oil outside Syria. Guarded by US military and private American military companies.

In the same vein, Zakharova asked Britain to clarify the suspicious relationship between its former intelligence officer, the founder of the White Helmets terrorist organization in Syria, James Le Missouri, with the "Al-Qaeda" terrorist organization.

"Let's see who was in the early days of this organization," Zakharova said in response to British Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Morrison's claims that the White Helmets were targeted by a media misleading campaign. British intelligence, specifically in MI6, is hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

"He has left traces in many conflicts around the world, including in the Balkans and the Middle East," she said. "Moreover, a number of researchers point to links between this former intelligence officer and terrorist organizations while working in Kosovo, where, according to some sources, his team even included elements From al-Qaeda. ”

Zakharova cynically said Moscow was "very much looking forward to hearing some clarification from London about these facts."

The White Helmets was founded in Turkey in 2013 with British and American funding. Several documents found by the Syrian Arab Army in areas that have freed it from terrorism, where the White Helmets operate, associate the organic organization with and support terrorist organizations, especially the Jabhat al-Nusra. And promote the use of chemical weapons against civilians.

In another context, the Russian spokeswoman stressed that Washington's approach to Iran is destructive and short-sighted and said that "without Tehran's participation it is impossible to build a solid regional security structure in the Middle East as well as stabilizing the situation in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan."

Zakharova stressed that the United States has a responsibility to reduce Iran 's obligations under the nuclear agreement, stressing that "if the United States found the will to stop undermining the nuclear agreement and UN Security Council resolution 2231" Iran would not have started pumping gas supplies to the centrifuges at Fordow facility and would have been There is a commitment by the European parties to their commitments under the agreement.
