"We have evidence that the militants in Idlib with the help of the pseudo-humanitarian associates of the terrorists from the White Helm continue to prepare staging actions for staging the use of chemical weapons," RIA Novosti quoted Vershinin as saying.

According to him, Russia "again draws the attention of the international community to putting an end to these dangerous provocations."

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow daily provides facts confirming that the "White Helmets" are preparing a provocation with chemical weapons in the Syrian Idlib.
