Allegations that forces loyal to Syrian leader Bashar Assad were to blame for a chlorine attack in Syria's Eastern Ghouta are a provocation aimed at sabotaging a ceasefire in the enclave, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted as saying Monday.
Lavrov said a 30-day ceasefire for Eastern Ghouta agreed in the U.N. Security Council would take effect once all sides had agreed how it should be implemented, RIA news agency reported.
