According to Vadim Kulit, deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, militants in Syria's Idlib are planning a provocation using toxic substances to discredit Russian forces in Syria, and they have already delivered chlorine to the town of Arihah.

During a briefing, Kulit explained that information received by the center indicated that leaders of the "terrorist groups operating in the southern part of the Idlib de-escalation zone are preparing a provocation using toxic substances, aimed at discrediting the grouping of troops (forces) of the Russian armed forces in Syria. "

Kulit also expressed that "Representatives of the pseudo-humanitarian organization White Helmets, acting in coordination with terrorists of the Jabhat al-Nusra group, delivered six containers of chlorine to the area of the town of Arihah."

According to the military officer, terrorists want to "stage" the use of hazardous chemicals following Russian attacks on their strongholds.
