“Despite this, a moratorium on the conduct of hostilities in order to stabilize in Idlib is still maintained,” the report said.

According to diplomats, it is noteworthy that on the eve of the operation, the State Department made a statement following the talks between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Syria Pedersen.

"In it, in particular, Pompeo" expressed concern about the monstrous consequences of the attacks of the Assad regime and its allies against civilians, humanitarian facilities and infrastructure in Idlib and stressed the need for an immediate restoration of the ceasefire, "the agency reminded.

The Foreign Ministry called the US actions on Idlib inconsistent and contradictory, which cause "bewilderment and concern."

“On the one hand, American representatives from all the stands, including the UN, demand to stop the escalation of tension in Idlib, stir up passions in connection with the suffering of the civilian population, ignoring the unprecedented concentration of terrorists recognized as such by the UN Security Council. On the other hand, they inflict an air strike, resulting in large-scale destruction and casualties, ”the report emphasizes.

Diplomats are asking, “Why are American bombs“ better ”than Russian and why are US terrorist targets more“ legitimate ”than terrorist targets that were destroyed by Syrian government forces with the support of Russian aviation?”

“In this regard, we consider it justified to believe that the UN humanitarian workers will take into account the consequences of the US operation in Idlib in the preparation of their reports and will promptly inform the UN Security Council members about its consequences,” the Foreign Ministry concluded.

On August 31, the United States announced that it had attacked the positions of Al-Qaida * terrorists in the Idlib area.

As noted in the CPVS, American aviation struck without notifying Russia and Turkey about this.

In Washington, the strike in Idlib was called the al-Qaeda point response.
