The authorities of the ATS continue to release the occupied territories. It is likely that during the operations the Syrian army will use chemical weapons. This view was expressed by the American side. True, concrete facts, these words, as often happens, are not confirmed. There was a vague "there is information". However, the United States considers the data from an unnamed source sufficient to again drop bombs on the territory of Syria. On the "powerful military actions" that Damascus will respond to Washington, said adviser to the American leader Donald Trump John Bolton. The position of the States on the situation in Syria, he indicated at a meeting with the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev. About this, Bloomberg reports citing a reference to its own sources. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry was told about the preparation of the strike. The US transferred to the Persian Gulf the destroyer "The Sullivans". On its board there are 56 cruise missiles. The strategic bomber B-1B also moved to the airbase "El-Udeid" in Qatar, an official spokesman for the military department Igor Konashenkov said.. This is reported by RIA Novosti. Also Konashenkov told about the impending provocation. Terrorists brought eight containers of chlorine to the city of Jisr al-Shugur.

Let's remind, negotiations of Bolton and Patrushev took place in Geneva on Thursday, August 23. The signing of the statement following the meeting broke down. The Americans wanted the document to mention Moscow's allegedly notorious interference in the US elections. "As a result of the meeting, we planned to sign a joint statement, but did not sign. Because the Americans wanted it to be, that we interfered in their election, in their opinion, and we deny it. That is, the very weak topic of discussion, "- said Patrushev.
