Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expecting the official reaction from BBC management to the statement of their producer about the staging nature of filming made in Douma, Syria. 

According to MFA representative Maria Zakharova, this statement can be called "the culmination of the theater of absurd," RIA Novosti reports. She recalled that BBC was very active in covering the events that took place last spring. In this case, British journalists filed information unilaterally, in favor of the Western coalition’s actions.

According to producer on covering the events in Syria Riam Dalati, the scenes in hospital after so-called “chemical attack” in Douma were staged. He noted that he had been investigating this case for half a year. There were no victims in the hospital, he assured. Scene was fabricated to enhance the effect. 

As Russkiy Mir reported, Russian diplomats and military officials have repeatedly stated that the chemical attack in Syria was staged. Evidence of fraud staged by the notorious White Helmets was provided repeatedly. Permanent Representation of the Russian Federation to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) organized a briefing on the incident in Douma, which is located near Damascus, at the headquarters in The Hague. Russian Foreign Ministry called the messages about chemical attack an informational assault. Western countries were quick to blame the government. 

American, German and British journalists were investigating the incident. None of them found a single evidence of chemical attack.
