MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Wednesday, the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) released the results of a joint probe into chemical weapon attacks in Syria in 2014 and 2015 that said the Syrian government was allegedly involved in two attacks and Daesh terrorist in one attack.
"The Syrian regime and the Islamic State compete in atrocities, use of such weapon is illegal and has no moral support, including from those who back Damascus. No one wants chemical attacks to become a usual thing. The Russian side should clarify its position and at the same time take a chance to return to political settlement," Ayrault said in an interview with Le Monde newspaper.
In light of the UN report, Russia and the United States are working together to develop a common approach for further actions, according to Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin.
