RUSSIA has sensationally accused Britain of STAGING the deadly chemical attack in Syria last week.

The chlorine and nerve agent bombing of Eastern Ghouta on Saturday left at least 70 dead — but the Russian-backed Syrian regime has denied involvement.

Russia has accused Britain of staging the chemical attack in Eastern Ghouta

Now Moscow's defence ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov has claimed the Kremlin has evidence that Britain has staged the attack.

He said: "We have... evidence that proves Britain was directly involved in organising this provocation."

Konashenkov released statements, supposedly from medics working at Douma's hospital, who allege a group of people holding video cameras entered the medical facility, shouting that its patients were struck with chemical weapons.

The alleged medics in the report said none of the patients they were treating were hurt by chemicals.
