U.S sends a blackmail message to Russia, calling abandon Assad

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson carried a blackmail message from seven countries and Middle Eastern allies to Moscow on Tuesday Russia`s support for Syria’s Bashar al-Assad.

Tillerson flew on after meeting foreign ministers from the Group of Seven advanced economies and Middle Eastern allies in Italy.

Russia says the chemicals that killed civilians belonged to rebels, not to Assad’s government, and has accused the United States of an illegal act of aggression against Syria on a phoney pretext.

Putin said on Tuesday he believed Washington planned to launch more missile strikes, and that rebels were planning to stage chemical weapons attacks to provoke them.

Putin said Moscow would urgently ask the United Nations chemical weapons watchdog to investigate last week’s incident
