Kremlin: we do not do Twitter diplomacy

moscow - The Kremlin has emphasized that it is not doing 'Twitter diplomacy.' The apparent reason was a series of tweets from US President Donald Trump, who warned the Russians through the messaging service that they should consider an American rocket attack on targets in Syria.

'We do not participate in Twitter diplomacy. We support a serious approach ', the Kremlin spokesman responded. According to TASS news agency, he said that accusations about the use of chemical weapons in the city of Douma are 'far-fetched' and can not be used to justify a military response.

Trump called the Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad on Twitter a 'beast' that kills his people with gas 'and enjoys it. '' The Russians say they will bring down all the missiles that are being fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will come, 'the president twittered.

His minister Jim Mattis (Defense) later struck a more cautious tone. He said that the information about the events in Douma is still being analyzed.
