Moscow Calls Trump’s Attack On Syria A ‘Violation Of International Law’

Vladimir Putin “regards the strikes as aggression against a sovereign nation,” according to his spokesman Dmitry Peskov, noting that the president of Russia believes the airstrikes were conducted “in violation of international law, and also under an invented pretext.”

Peskov claims that “the Syrian army doesn’t have chemical weapons,” explaining that this had been “observed and confirmed by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a special UN unit.”

“This step deals significant damage to US-Russian ties, which are already in a deplorable state,” Peskov said.
