Moscow seeks ways to reach Washington. Since the US authorities seem not to hear Russian arguments at the level of the UN Security Council and other international platforms, the diplomats switched to the language of tweets, so clear and familiar for US President Donald Trump. Thus, the Russian embassy in the US published on June 14 an appeal to the American leadership to stop groundless accusations against Russia and Syria. "Publish information about the" Novice "! Destroy your chemical weapons!", - says the Twitter mission of the Russian Federation. Earlier, at a briefing at the State Department, Nauert stated that the Defense Ministry was disseminating false information that US agents were preparing, in conjunction with the fighting opposition in Syria, a provocation in the Deir ez Zor province under a scenario already worked out in the Duma. The representative of the State Department did not comment on the reports on the production of video footage allegedly proving the use of poisonous substances. However, she said that the United States supports the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, and immediately passed on to the nagging general words about Russia's involvement in the poisoning of former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the British Salisbury. At the same time, a few years ago the fact of the complete destruction of chemical weapons in Syria was confirmed by the experts of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

But the US has problems with it: initially they committed to liquidate their reserves by 2007. , now the final term is postponed to 2023. As for the combat toxin "Novice", which, according to the British authorities, was used in Salisbury, its production was never conducted in Russia. But in Europe it was produced, it was recognized, in particular, by Czech President Milos Zeman. In addition, one of the founders of the "Novice" many years ago moved to the United States, where he now works.
