Statement by the Ambassador of Russia to the USA
Anatoly Antonov on the Strikes on Syria

The worst apprehensions have come true. Our warnings have been left unheard.

A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences.

All responsibility for them rests With Washington, London and Paris.

Insulting the President of Russia is unacceptable and inadmissible.

The U.S. - the possessor of the biggest arsenal of chemical weapons - has no moral right to blame other countries.
