"These are groundless accusations. It is not clear on what they are based, but no specific data is provided, and this is how we assess such accusations. We do not agree with them," Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
US Department of States spokeswoman Heather Nauert claimed, Damascus airforces allegedly conducted airstrikes in Eastern Ghoutta, targeting hospitals that had claimed lives of 100 civilians for the last 48 hours.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said earlier in the day that Russia was working within the UN Security Council to prepare a resolution on humanitarian issues in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta.
"As regards the humanitarian ceasefire, I think this issue will also be resolved depending on how the development of this draft resolution further goes. This is a resolution on humanitarian issues in general,” Ryabkov told reporters.
The senior diplomat noted that the humanitarian issues in Syria were a clear example of Washington’s double standards.
Eastern Ghouta is one of four Syrian de-escalation zones that were created during the Astana talks on Syrian reconciliation.
Russia, Iran and Turkey serve as guarantors of the de-escalation agreements.
