The Russian diplomat said OPCW collects information remotely and draws conclusions by using imprecise information, he added.In July, the Syrian government was accused during the 97th session of the OPCW Executive Council that it used chemical weapons in Saraqib in 2018 in retaliation for a downed Russian airplane. Russia's permanent representative to OPCW Alexander Shulgin said the accusations are absurd and do not stand up to criticism.Last Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the international community needs to activate the assistance mechanism to Syria in order to alleviate the current humanitarian situation in the country.Earlier on Monday, the Kazakhstan Foreign Ministry spokesman Aibek Smadiyarov said the 19th round of high-level talks of the Astana format summit on the peaceful settlement in Syria will be held in Kazakhstan in late November.
