1/5:🇨🇦 supported 4 of the 🇷🇺 proposals for addition to Sched1. The 5th proposal did not meet the definition of a Sched1 chemical - according to both the #OPCW Technical Secretariat, and Canada's National Authority.

2/5: In direct consultations with 🇷🇺, we made clear that there was a path to consensus on 4 of 5 of its proposals. Instead 🇷🇺chose to proceed with a decision that it knew would fail. The reasons for this approach are now clear... #OPCW #EC902

3/5: Immediately post-EC meeting, 🇷🇺used the rejection of its prop to launch a systematic campaign of disinformation, fabricating allegations that states objected to the 5th proposal to cover-up their own research on those chemicals. #OPCW #EC90

4/5: We can only assume that this had been the Russian Federation's intention all along. This is just the latest example of deliberate Russian disinformation. #OPCW #EC90

5/5: 🇷🇺 echoes the Assad regime's nonsensical claims that the Douma attack was staged by the #WhiteHelmets. Now that #OPCW FFM has presented substantive evidence that chlorine was used as a CW in Douma, those actors continue systematic denial, diversion and distortion. #ec90
