Russia criticises UN chemical attack report

Russia has criticised the UN’s report on chemical attacks in Syria, calling it biased and politically motivated.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, visiting Syria said:

"We are disappointed, to put it mildly, about the approach taken by the U.N. secretariat and the U.N. inspectors, who prepared the report selectively and incompletely,"

“Without receiving a full picture of what is happening here, it is impossible to call the nature of the conclusions reached by the U.N. experts ... anything but politicized, preconceived and one-sided,"
