We have received intel information about preparations being made by radicals to perpetrate acts of sabotage on positions of the Syrian and Russian armies, General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Russian Coordination Center, based at the Hemeimem base in the coastal province of Latakia, noted. The officer added that the terrorists from the Front for the Conquest of Syria/the Levant), formerly al-Nousra Front, intends to post videos on social networks showing the destruction of civilian infrastructure, with the aim of accusing Damascus and Moscow of launching indiscriminate attacks on territory controlled by the terrorists.

Syria and Russia have repeatedly denounced that radicals in Idlib prepare provocations, including chemical attacks, with support and supervision of the United States, some Western governments and Turkish intelligence services, which not only offer advice but also media and political coverage.

The White Helmets organization was founded in Türkiye in 2013 with British and US funding, and Moscow and Damascus accuse it of activities linked to terrorist groups.
