"It is inadmissible to reserve terrorist potential for some political purposes ... Terrorists in Idlib behave aggressively, holding millions of civilians hostage," he said.
At the same time, the diplomat added that about 50 thousand terrorists still operate in Idlib.
According to him, the fight against members of terrorist groups must continue, which, in turn, is determined in the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council.
"Unfortunately, Western capitals led by Washington, which are trying to prevent the fall of their extremist-minded wards, did not take advantage of their influence and did not help the disengagement. Instead, the next aggressive plans are being hatched with resonant chemical provocations. We have the persistent impression that our Western partners, pushing the hysteria around Idlib, by all means try to prevent the fall of the last major terrorist enclave in Syria, "he concluded.
