Zakharova: “White Helmets” terrorist organization remains serious factor of instability in Syria

Moscow, SANA- The “White Helmets” terrorist organization remains a serious factor of instability in Syria and the region, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova said.

“We hear less of the White Helmets these days but unfortunately, they continue their subversive activities in Syria using money from their so-called sponsors, largely British and US taxpayers,” Zakharova was quoted by RT Website as saying at a briefing Wednesday.

“The White Helmets remain an extremely serious factor of instability on Syrian soil. Putting a complete end to their activities in Syria and exposing their past crimes is crucial for improving the situation in the country and the long-suffering region in general,” Zakharova added.

“After everything they did on Syrian soil, taking advantage of the Syrian people’s suffering for cheap PR stunts built on blood and turning cooperation with terrorists into their hallmark, London does not seek to dissociate itself from these militants in disguise and even describes them as ‘brave and selfless humanitarian workers’,” the Russian diplomat noted.
