London and some of its Western allies blame the incident on Moscow, saying it has used a Russian-made nerve agent. Kirillov said the West won’t back off and is prepared to use any means necessary to discredit Russia. The official recalled the example of Syria’s Khan Shaykhun. The commander also criticized the international bodies for their refusal to work with Damascus in investigating the alleged chemical attacks in the country.'
