1/2 Canada welcomes Syria's destruction of 42 aerial bombs under #OPCW verification, marking the first reported destruction of chemical weapons-related munitions in Syria since 2014.

In 2018, a chlorine attack killed 43 people in Douma, Syria. Moscow’s response was denial, pressuring witnesses, and helping build an alternative story.
This is how the Kremlin manufactures doubt when the facts are inconvenient.

No mission is ever carried out alone. Behind every OPCW deployment is a team working around the clock🕛
The Situation Centre (SitCen) helps inspectors stay informed, connected and prepared wherever their work takes them. This is a vital support that enables the OPCW to uphold and implement the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention.

The discovery of previously undeclared chemical weapons materials in Syria highlights why continued verification and accountability matter. That is one reason Canada announced $5 million in April 2026 to support the OPCW’s work in #Syria. @CanadaOPCW

🇩🇪 is pleased to co-finance the #GPWMD Counter CBRN Disinformation Initiative with €300,000. Building resilience to disinfo narratives + tactics used by certain states to discredit international co-operation, exposing false claims + naming those responsible is key. #CWC #BTWC
