Amb. #Nebenzia says Russia will proceed from concrete #humanitarian needs of Syrian population. #UNSG latest report is clear “pressing need to prepare for COVID-19...has starkly highlighted the gap left by the removal of Yaroubiya authorisation” 1/3
Amb. #Nebenzia also says “it only takes will to deliver aid to all who need it via ordinary channels”. Yet the U.N. also confirms no improvement in cross-line access to NE since #Russia and #China vetoed cross-border assistance in NE #Syria 2/3
#UNSC should provide a mandate for Yaroubiya crossing for prevention and protection against #COVID-19 3/3

Yesterday the comedian @jimmy_dore became the latest @TheGrayzoneNews collaborator to brief the #UNSC at 🇷🇺’s request - joining @MaxBlumenthal @raymcgovern @BowesChay

A short 🧵 comparing the rhetoric of these briefers and that of Oswald Mosley and British Union of Fascists 1/9 Image
In 1939 few doubted what the Nazis were capable of: the Sudetenland had been annexed, the violence of Kristallnacht taken place and Hitler’s genocidal ambitions were increasingly understood - in January that year he spoke of “the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe” 2/9 Image
Today, #Russia’s genocidal and neoimperial agenda is clear. 🇷🇺 has launched a full-scale war, targeted schools and hospitals, deported children, and, according to the 🇺🇳 has committed widespread war crimes. Putin has said 🇺🇦 has no history of statehood 3/9 Image

@aaronjmate Oh gosh @aaronjmate, like your entire briefing, this is incredibly weak. I’ll respond clearly for you with a series of tweets…
@aaronjmate 1) You claimed the IIT “just simply overlooked” the issue of foaming at the mouth. I pointed out this was untrue and provided you with the page number and section of the report. By reading it out said section you proved yourself you had lied in your original intervention
@aaronjmate 2) In trying to defend your lie, you attempt to argue that on the very page of the IIT report that confirms your lie, the IIT cites a scientific source that contains no reference to the word ‘foam’. I’ll explain how this exposes you further…

#RussianDisinformation at the #UN and #UNSC is not a new development, but #PutinsWar in #Ukraine has brought it into sharp focus. A 🧵 based on my experience leading a team @UKUN_NewYork covering Syria, Ukraine and other issues 1/11
#Disinformation and #Propaganda has been a significant feature of #Kremlin policy since Putin’s controversial ‘re-election’ in 2012. The 🎯 audience is primarily the Russian public but in the #UN context it is also UN member states 2/11
The Putin regime has used #disinformation to justify the 2014 annexation of #Crimea and invasion of #Donbas, to cover up the Russian downing of #MH17, the poisoning of the #Skripals and #Navalny, and #ChemicalWeapons use in #Syria 3/11

Responding to #UNSC questions, DG @OPCW confirms Inspector A was not part of FFM that deployed to #Douma. He was a liaison officer based in Damascus providing support to a number of different mission in #Syria 1/4
Inspector B confirmed in writing to @OPCW that he agreed with the findings of the FFM interim report. Both individuals had left prior to the bulk of analysis of hundreds of samples by independent labs that identified presence of reactive chlorine 2/4
DG @OPCW quotes from Russian NV #759 from 26 April 2019 - Russian Federation does not challenge findings of molecular chlorine 3/4
