Russia has
suspended the memorandum of understanding on flight safety in Syria with the
United States amid the US missile strike on Syria’s Shayrat military airfield,
according to the Russian Foreign Ministry’s statement.
“Without
bothering to investigate anything, the US went forward with a demonstration of
force, a military confrontation with a country that is fighting international
terrorism,” the
Foreign Ministry’s statement reads.
The US
launched some 60 Tomahawk missiles at the Syrian military airbase in the Homs
governorate early on Friday. The attack came after US President Donald Trump
pinned the blame for an alleged chemical attack in Idlib on Syria’s government.
“Obviously,
the cruise missile attack was prepared beforehand. Any expert can tell that the
decision to strike was made in Washington before the events in Idlib, which
were used as a pretext for a demonstration,” the statement reads.
The
Memorandum on air safety was signed in October 2015, after Russia came to Syria
to fight international terrorism at the invitation of the country’s government.
The document of understanding was designed to prevent possible mishaps between
the Russian and US Air Forces operating independently in the region.
Russia’s
Foreign Ministry has condemned the attack as an example of the “reckless
attitude” that has only worsened “existing world issues” and
created a “threat to international security.”
