Russia has military advisors on the ground. They keep "close watch" over Syria's chemical arsenal.
On December 23, Press TV headlined "Syria militants use chemical weapons against Syrian forces," saying:
Military sources said they used them in Daraya near Damascus. On Saturday, toxic yellow gas killed at least seven Syrian soldiers.
They died within an hour after inhaling it. Foreign-backed insurgents threatened chemical weapons use. They also said they'd poison Syrian water.
"The militants' use of chemical weapons come as the US and its allies have alleged that the Syrian government possesses the deadly weapons and is prepared to use them against militants."
A December 20 UN report said insurgents invaded. They're from 29 countries. Most are extremist Salafists. Syrian officials and independent accounts repeatedly stressed Western-recruited death squads ravaged the country since last year.
UN investigators said conflict shifted from battling for political change to "overtly sectarian" warfare. It claimed civil war ravages Syria.
Nothing civil reflects what's going on. Western-recruited death squads are responsible. Syria was invaded. Army forces, Alawite civilians, and other Assad loyalists struggle to defeat them.
