The Russian Foreign Ministry answered Kerry’s call to investigate "possible war crimes of the Russian Federation in Syria"

US Secretary of State John Kerry on the eve announced that it was necessary to create a working group that would investigate "possible war crimes of Russia in Syria." This statement was strongly responded to by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson for the country's chief foreign affairs agency, called Kerry’s words for exacerbating the situation and political juggling, and also advised Kerry to start with an investigation of war crimes committed in different years of the United States.

The Russian Foreign Ministry answered Kerry’s call to investigate "possible war crimes of the Russian Federation in Syria"




From an interview with Maria Zakharova TC "Rain":
Kerry's statement is propaganda. Behind this terminology are very serious legal consequences, and I think that Kerry used all these terms in terms of exacerbating the situation. If it comes to war crimes, US representatives should start with Iraq. And then go to Libya, be sure to Yemen - to figure out what is there.


In addition, Maria Zakharova revealed American cards, stating the following:
The American side simply could not fulfill the armistice agreement in Syria. They themselves told us that they have no levers of pressure on the opposition.


The State Department tried to make an attempt to justify themselves in their manner. The official representative of the department, John Kirby, who quite recently actually threatened Russia with terrorist attacks in our cities and “bags for dead” against the Russian military in the UAR, said that Kerry’s opinion was as if unofficial (quote RIA News):
Secretary of State John Kerry did not officially announce that Russia is committing war crimes in Syria. He expressed his sincere opinion that these violations of international law should be properly investigated, since they could potentially be qualified as war crimes. Such an investigation may be conducted in a UN format.

      You need to start with the genocide of the Native American Indians, as well as Korea, Vietnam, the atomic bombings of Japan, Grenada and the list goes on. The USA is the main war criminal in the world.

        Zakharova's fair reminders of Iraq would be much more significantif spoken in 2003-2004 yearsimmediately after the US CRIMES there.
        Said today, in justification for their accusations, their weight is much less.

There were no Boreevs yet, and Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, not meat or fish, was ordered by the Bilderberg Club to replace the objectionable Evgeny Primakov, who played an invaluable role in the fate of the resurrection of Russia, which history will still be noted ...

            The entire US leadership needs to be put on a stake.
            And how to drive out their aspen stakes to drive.

            This is based on Kerry's requirements.
            Investigate so investigate.
            There is no need to even list here.
            Half the world is on fire and Kerry is one of the people who control the genocide of the planet.

              The Japanese proverb says:
              "Lies have no legs, but they have scandalous wings."

              But as Ambrose Optinsky said:
              "A lie will remain a lie and can never be true."

              We, the Russian people, can only regret the disease. That’s why we are strong that we can spare the enemies, because:

              Speech that can be called empty chatter
              always compensates for something that
              absent - thoughts, feelings, exact words.
              Therefore, it does not need anyone, it does not give anything.
              Moreover, it leads everyone away from true life,

          Then American banks would not give loans to our enterprises for the modernization of the army and the production of modern types of weapons. That is, the 14th yoga year would come in 2004.

          Meanwhile, the legitimate authorities, a million inhabitants and the country were ruined. The same goes for Libya.

        All these statements, with further smoothing by an official of the Congress, even with the same talker, speaks of the hysterical state of the hegemon in the foreign policy field. They either cry, then laugh, then negotiate, then withdraw from the contracts, or arrange provocations, moreover thick ones, then again they give back. In a word, they do not behave like a hegemon, but the whole world looks at them and the PRC, because the Filipino leader says what the others think. Moreover, if you notice, then only something is happening on the Syrian front, like a coalition strike on the SAA and a provocation with a humanitarian escort, it is immediately reported that several dozen Israeli-British advisers covered the caliber, the Egyptians destroyed the meeting at the Sinai of the same meeting, and the Hussites suddenly drown a modern American ship, and in an interesting place, moreover, it didn’t sank, and it was as if transferred to the UAE, although it was soaked through the video so that hardly anyone escaped from the crew, flared up like a match ( what were the bastards carrying?), some advanced Hussites there, then Tochka-U, or Scud will cover the headquarters of the Saudi coalition, then the airfield, then the ships are carried, and when necessary. Here is the UN plutonium plunged the other day. The sheltered threat of an air attack on the SAA and us, everyone, dragged the S-300, and then, like in a fairy tale, a couple of f-16s, Turkish and Israeli, fall. Coincidence? All these are coordinated actions on all fronts, and the battlefield is Earth. And the Indian curses of these villains will be covered, with our help.

      Mead still has a nookie:Russia is in favor of integrating Donbass into Ukraine on equal terms, so that there will be no persecution or genocide of the Russian-speaking population. This opinion was expressed by Andrei Kelin, Director of the Department for European Cooperation of the Russian Foreign Ministry, speaking at the opening of the second European Forum of Young Diplomats. "People there must receive legislative, constitutional status, pass an amnesty, finally undergo not only a military, but also a political settlement," the diplomat emphasized. "This will help economic recovery and create favorable conditions for the development of eastern Ukraine."

    So what the hell did Lavrov spend 14 hours of time negotiating? And what was the fateful diplomatic overthrow of this super marathon, about which KiselSMI was hysterical for three days? The Barmalei got a break, regrouped and re-armed themselves. And the "partners and friends" bled the Syrians and drew a gum convoy.
    The State Department tried in their own way to make an attempt to justify themselves.

    The USA committed large-scale crimes back in Yugoslavia when they bombed Belgrade, Dubrovnik and other cities where there were no military facilities. The US bombed civilian infrastructure — residential blocks, bridges and power plants. And they bombed with bombs with uranium elements.

    In international law, there is no concept of private opinion of an official state person. Any opinion expressed publicly out loud is considered the official position of the state. This is international law.
    At one time, the appeal of the Russian Prime Minister to the Taliban served as the basis for considering this group officially recognized.
    Thus, the officially announced intention of the US is the intention to create a group of "experts" that will "search", or rather, create evidence of what they have already begun to convince the world community.
    Absolutely the same scheme as with a downed Boeing in Ukraine.

    In my opinion, the time has come to talk with Americans in their "dialect" - overflowing with cynicism, outright lies, arrogance and simple meanness.

    All American politics are war and crime. They know that they will not be judged. They have their own court - I want to bomb, and for this we will plant and hang others. Today, the same thing in Syria, created terrorist organizations. With their help, they wanted to remove the legitimate president and seize Syria. Once again they want to denigrate Russia, and hide their criminal head in the sand. Today they see that countries and peoples are turning away. They have no allies, only criminal politicians who are being kept on a leash. So they want their crimes - through their manual trial, they want to condemn Russia. To condemn Russia it is necessary to seize it-and all ends in the water. Here they can’t succeed - you have to die yourself. Now they have a complete hysteria - that they themselves fell into their trap. Lies and dirt - it acts badly against Russia, they are looking for other ways to blame it. Now even many Americans do not believe their politicians; there are three resistance sleeps there. Let them lie further - they’ll leave faster to the bottom.

The world "community" is predictably backing everything, creating some kind of anti-Russian "coalition" or whatever the hell, but in the same spirit. Everything will happen very quickly. No red tape. And all with only one purpose - to squeeze, squeeze us out of Syria. And then that's it. Syria is over. PS Do you remember what Wanga answered when asked about the start of the third world war?
