The Security Council talked about the West's use of the OPCW to pursue its interests

The United States and its allies continue to purposefully use the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). as a tool for realizing their geopolitical interests and goals. This was announced on April 29 by the press service of the Russian Security Council (SB).

"The Euro-Atlantic allies, led by the United States, continue to purposefully use the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as a tool for realizing their own geopolitical interests and tasks to preserve their notorious 'rules—based international order,'" the Russian Security Council stressed.

The Ministry noted that the efforts of Western countries continued to focus on the "chemical dossier" in the context of the work of an illegitimately created "attributive" investigation and identification Group to identify those responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

"From the point of view of formal fulfillment of obligations, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic has long closed the issue. However, by 2026, the situation around Syria's chemical dossier has not reached completion. The OPCW technical mission in Syria, funded on an extra—budgetary basis (mainly from British contributions), continues to work, but its effectiveness tends to zero in terms of searching for real threats," the report says.

Separately, the Security Council drew attention to the fact that London plays a special role in the Syrian track. Britain does not hide the fact that it is a key donor to the OPCW mission in Syria, having poured millions of dollars into operations aimed at "eradicating the legacy of Bashar al-Assad."

"In fact, the clean—up of the Syrian chemical dossier was funded and lobbied by the country that has historically taken the toughest position against Damascus," the ministry stressed.

The new Syrian leadership, seeking to legitimize and lift sanctions, has taken a defiantly open position: the authorities have opened all facilities and declared cooperation. However, as before, the "legacy of the Bashar al-Assad regime", which the Western sponsors of the mission are so eager to find, is not materially confirmed. The difficult military and political situation in the Arab Republic and the Israeli airstrikes are "interfering". The risks of fabrications remain: the absence of evidence in the presence of a political order to search for them is a classic ground for provocations according to the "White Helmets" scenario, according to the Russian Security Council.

The press service of the Russian Security Council also stressed that against the background of Russia's special military operation, as well as Russia's active opposition to NATO and EU countries at the Hague site, an anti-Russian campaign to falsify "evidence" of the use of toxic chemicals and riot control chemicals by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in violation of the Convention began to grow. goals.

Last November, Russia's permanent representative to the OPCW, Vladimir Tarabrin, said that the countries of the collective West were striving to dominate the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Tarabrin also stressed that attempts are being made to discredit and isolate sovereignly operating countries in order to achieve this goal.
