Monday, 15 February 2021_The Russian Defense Ministry warns that the White Helmets, operating under the guise of an aid group in Syria, is planning to stage a false-flag operation in the northwestern province of Idlib to implicate Damascus.
“We have information that members of illegal armed groups are preparing to stage a provocation in order to accuse Syrian government forces of attacking settlements in the Idlib de-escalation zone,” the deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, Rear. Adm. Vyacheslav Sytnik, said at a news briefing on Sunday.
Sytnik added that a rise in operations by the al-Qaeda affiliated Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group was also observed near the village of al-Fuah, northeast of Idlib.
Members of the “pseudo-humanitarian” organization, White Helmets, who have professional video equipment in their possession, were also spotted in the area, he said.
The White Helmets group is known for its coordination with terror outfits in Syria to carry out staged chemical attacks in order to falsely incriminate Syrian government forces and fabricate pretexts for military strikes by a US-led military coalition present in Syria since 2014.
