“More than 2 thousand refugees are being held in the camp as a human shield by militants of an illegal armed group ... controlled by the United States,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
He also noted that the refugees are in dire need of food, water and medical care, but cannot leave the camp without "payoffs" to the militants.
Earlier, the TsPVS stated that the militants were planning a provocation with strikes on the refugee camp in Idlib.
