Russia will give UN ‘proof’ of Syria rebel chemical use
Russia will give the Security Council evidence implicating Syrian rebels in a chemical attack on 21 August, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.
Syrian officials supplied the evidence, which Mr Lavrov has not yet seen.
A UN report released on Monday concluded the nerve agent sarin was used in the attack in Damascus, in which hundreds were killed.
The US blamed government forces for the attack, but Russia and Damascus have insisted that rebels were responsible.
The UN report did not apportion blame for the attack, which sparked diplomacy that culminated in a deal for Syria to hand over its chemical arsenal by mid-2014.
The UK, France and the US now want the disarmament deal enshrined in a UN resolution backed by the threat of military force.
But Russia, which has repeatedly cast doubt on the whether the regime carried out the attacks, has objected to any resolution authorising force
