The results of their actions were cleaning Syria from the terrorists your country has planted and supported. The last example of bloody exporting of your "democracy" was my home country of Ukraine.
Yep. Amerika, that awful, terrorist-sponsoring nation. Hey! You must be that Rogul guy everyone keeps looking for! Hello, Rogul!
When your presidents started bombing Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria did they know there will be lots of civilians' deaths? Yes, they did,. So did you.
Interview to American TV channel NBC
Megyn Kelly: Let me ask you a bit about chemical weapon attacks in Syria.
Vladimir Putin: Firstly, the Syrian Government destroyed its chemical weapons long ago.
Secondly, we know about the militants’ plans to simulate chemical attacks by the Syrian army.
And thirdly, all the attempts that have been made repeatedly in the recent past, and all the accusations were used to consolidate the efforts against Assad. We are aware of these goings-on, and they are not interesting. One wants to say, “Boring.”
Megyn Kelly: The bodies of dead children thanks to sarin gas attacks? That is boring?
Vladimir Putin: Are you sure that these deaths are the result of chemical attacks by the Syrian Government? I, on the contrary,
blame this on the criminals and radicals, on the terrorists who are staging these crimes in order to lay the blame on President Assad.
Megyn Kelly: That is not what the United Nations has concluded. They autopsied the bodies of the dead children. Your Foreign Minister suggested it was all made up. Do you believe that?
Vladimir Putin: Of course. I am absolutely sure that it was.
Because there was no serious investigation.
Megyn Kelly: There were no dead bodies?
Vladimir Putin: Maybe there were dead bodies, which is to be expected in a war.
Look how they liberated Mosul: it was razed to the ground. Look how they
liberated Raqqa: the dead have not yet been removed from the ruins or buried. Do you want to talk about this? As for crimes,
go back to Raqqa and at least bury the dead bodies, which are still lying amid the ruins after the air strikes at residential neighbourhoods there. And investigate these attacks. This will give you something to do.
