"The United States intends to allocate $ 5 million to continue life-saving operations conducted by White Helmets and IIIM financing," the State Department said in a statement.
They added that the United States "strongly support the work of the" White Helmets ", and the members of the organization" the most dangerous job in the world. "
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia stated that the Russian side is working to debunk the myth of Western intelligence services about the "exclusively humanitarian activities" of the White Helmets organization.
The newspaper Izvestia, citing the Foreign Ministry, wrote that the United States could use chemical weapons provocations to maintain its presence in Syria.
On April 20, 2018, a Syrian boy, Hassan Diab, who was presented in the White Helmets production video as a victim of a chemical attack in the city of Duma, told RT the details of the shooting.
