“Russia has also made ridiculous statements that the US is responsible for creating the IG* that white helmets in Syria linked to terrorism and that the UK intelligence services faked the chemical attack in the Duma in 2018,” added Robinson. The Russian foreign Ministry, indeed, declared that Western-backed “white helmets” are associated with extremists and intelligence services in the UK.
