MOSCOW, April 13. /TASS/. The notorious "White Helmets" organization is undoubtedly embroiled in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday.
"I have no doubts - I don’t need the New York Times or anyone else for that - that this pseudo-humanitarian organization is actively involved in Ukraine," the diplomat told Radio Sputnik Wednesday.
According to the spokeswoman, the White Helmets are a Western tool for staging false flags with chemical weapons, and for exploiting the human rights agenda in the interest and for the benefit of their client.
"Why am I certain that they will be involved and are already involved [in Ukraine]? First of all, because this team has been suitably warmed up. This is a team that gained experience in Syria and is well-known to the Western media, it passed their so-called ‘verification’ process, and they are already incorporated into this environment and network. And here’s a key point. Second, their funding has not stopped," the spokeswoman explained.
Furthermore, Zakharova pointed out that any false flags staged by the White Helmets could be used to shift attention away from the West’s biolabs discovered in Ukraine.
"This story needs to be covered up with something else, especially considering that all clues lead to the current US Administration through [US President Joe] Biden’s son, his business, his connections, his money, disbursements and so on," Zakharova noted. "The best thing that they could come up with is their old scheme of chemical provocations. And they have those who will arrange them - the White Helmets. Therefore, it is only a matter of time. There are no doubts that they are already involved, there are even facts [that prove it]."
