Russia claims to have "proof" Britain was behind the alleged chemical attack
Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said the military had "proof that testifies to the direct participation of Britain in the organising of this provocation in eastern Ghouta".
He said the UK told the White Helmets, the first responders in rebel-held areas, to fake the suspected chemical attack in Douma.
London put "powerful pressure" on the civil defence organisation, he said.
He claimed the attack was staged on 7 April to coincide with military action by Syrian government forces after the rebel group Jaish al Islam, which long controlled eastern Ghouta, carried out shelling of Damascus from 3-6 April.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said a reported chemical attack in Syria was staged by foreign agents.
A spokesman for Russia's defence ministry accused the UK of staging a chemical attack.
"We have... evidence that proves Britain was directly involved in organising this provocation," Igor Konashenkov said.
Folks, really .. how ridiculous is THIS ?
Russia obviously hates that the Salisbury attack has generated such a furore on the international stage. Now - and against a backdrop of making sure the UN is STOPPED from independently verifying what really happened in Syria - is pathetically trying to foist blame on the UK for a Syrian chemical attack. This they do, setting themselves up as the one authority 'able' to report on the attack from a basis of access to the area, making sure that NOBODY ELSE is allowed comparable access ....
Do I really need to comment more ? The Russians have obviously no concept of reputability (or human decency) in their conduct abroad.
