DISINFO: White Helmets fabricated a video implicating Syrian forces
SUMMARY
The “White Helmets” alongside terrorists have completed filming a fabricated video on the use of toxic substances by Syrian forces.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin conspiracy theory painting the White Helmets as terrorists and shifting blame for chemical attacks in Syria away from Damascus. The claim is made without evidence and follows the pattern of unsubstantiated accusations regarding the White Helmets' complicity in chemical attacks in Syria. The organisation posted no videos or any other information pertaining to chemical attacks in Syria since the emergence of this disinformation narrative, either on Twitter or on Facebook. For more information about the importance of the White Helmets in pro-Kremlin disinformation regarding the Syrian war, see here, here, and here.
