Interview with the retired general Jonathan Shaw, former commander of the British Armed Forces in Iraq, was interrupted. As soon as the military said that the Syrian government did not have a motive for a chemical attack in the Duma, the TV hostess Sky News took him out of the live broadcast. According to Shaw, Assad won this war, and we need to accept this. Last week, the West accused the government of Syria of a chemical attack on the city of the Duma in East Gut. Russia refuted information about the chlorine bomb allegedly dropped by government troops. In his Twitter blog, US President Donald Trump called Bashar Assad "an animal" and promised to strike a missile attack on Syria. Moscow believes that the goal of throwing in on the use of poisonous substances is to justify the possibility of a strike against Damascus. On April 13, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov, announced that the department had at its disposal evidence of Britain's participation in provocations in the Duma. The Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations, Karen Pearce, called this statement "an insolent lie".
