Russia confirms US backed militants used chemical weapons in Aleppo

‘The Russian Defense Ministry confirms that militants in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo have carried out a chemical attack on members of the Syrian army.
“Terrorists in Aleppo are using chlorine against Syrian servicemen and civilians ever more frequently,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a Monday statement, adding that at least 30 Syrian servicemen had been affected in the attack in eastern Aleppo on Sunday.
Konashenkov criticized Western governments, especially France and Britain, for keeping silent on crimes committed by militants in Aleppo, saying that those governments only insist on blaming the Syrian government and its allies for the continued bloodshed in the war-torn city.’
