<p>The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said Russia recently offered it &#8220;some samples and other material in relation to an incident of alleged use of chemicals as weapons in Aleppo&#8221;.</p>
<p>The organisation said the samples &#8220;may be of use in the ongoing work of the OPCW fact-finding mission&#8221;, which is investigating allegations of chemical attacks in Syria.</p>
<p>Mr Konashenkov said the discovery proved that militants have used chemical weapons against civilians and Syrian soldiers.</p>
<p>The Syrian National Coalition (SNC), a main opposition group, denied rebels used chemical weapons in Aleppo.</p>
<p>It says the shells that were fired are similar to those used by government forces and militias fighting with them. The SNC called on UN organisations to open an investigation.</p>
<p>The US and its allies have pushed for sanctions on Syria for using chemical weapons.</p>
<p>Russia has questioned international investigators&#8217; conclusions linking chemical weapons use to its ally, the Syrian government, and pointed at evidence of their use by the militants.</p>
<p>The UN Security Council has voted to extend the mandate of inspectors working to determine those responsible for chemical weapons attacks in Syria.</p>
<p>The OPCW has suggested Russia hand over the material in Damascus or The Hague because Aleppo is too dangerous. Russia has not yet responded.</p>
