The OPCW Director-General Ahmet üzümcü said Wednesday that the organization's fact-finding mission of the investigation into the chemical attack has found traces of sarin gas in the victims' bodies.
Earlier on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry called the statement a "hasty" conclusion, saying that it raises big questions.
"Who took the samples, from where, and how ? Who precisely in the OPCW examined the bioassays?... If there really was Sarin in Khan Sheikhun, how can the OPCW explain White Helmets charlatans jumping in the vapor of Sarin without any protection means? Everybody saw it." the ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.
"We would like to receive from Ahmet üzümcü distinct answers to all these questions as soon as possible," he added.
"Only carrying out an objective investigation of the incident on the spot, in Khan Sheikhun, will help to establish the truth about the issues of what really happened there, and who should bear responsibility for it." Konashenkov said.
The White Helmets, a volunteer organization that operates in Syria's rebel-controlled areas with funding from the U.S., the UK and other western governments, has been repeatedly accused by the Russian Foreign Ministry of producing fake reports.
