“Any actions against Syria that are performed without the participation of the legitimate Syrian leadership and Russia, which is present there under the government’s mandate, are absolutely destructive and will always cause only the opposite effect,” he said.

The senator also noted that it is necessary to create not “some commissions, but assist the political settlement in the region”.

“Attempts to invent various provocations and investigate them without Russian participation, as well as proposals for the creation of commissions, usually end with unsubstantiated accusations that are easily refuted,” Morozov said.

Earlier, the UN Secretary-General ordered to launch an investigation into a “series of incidents” that occurred in northwestern Syria after a memorandum on idlib de-escalation was concluded between Russia and Turkey.

Commenting on Guterres’s initiative, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia stated that this idea was provocative.
