Moscow (March 13, 2018): The Russia Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov has warns of serious results to U.S if it strikes Syria’s capital city of Damascus, according to reports.
According to the Russian media, Gerasimov said Russia had “reliable information” about militants preparing to falsify a government chemical attack against civilians.
He continued by saying the U.S. would then use this attack to accuse Syrian government troops of using chemical weapons. He added that the U.S. would then plan to launch a missile strike on government districts in Damascus.
Gerasimov said Russia would respond to a U.S. strike on Syria if the lives of Russian servicemen were threatened, targeting any missiles and launchers involved.
“In case there is a threat to the lives of our military, the Russian Armed Force will take retaliatory measures both over the missiles and carriers that will use them,” he said.
