"In order to do that, Russian Federation has asked this council to focus its attention on the one part of Syria where the Assad regime isn't pummelling civilians to death with barrel bombs or banned chemical weapons", she said.
A United Nations security team was sacked at on Tuesday while on a reconnaissance mission in the Syrian town of Douma to prepare the deployment of experts investigating an alleged chemical attack, officials said.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Theresa May has accused Moscow of preventing inspectors for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) reaching Douma.
An Associated Press team visited the site on a Syrian government-organized tour Monday, including a two-room underground shelter where one resident said 47 people were killed, including his pregnant wife and two young daughters.
Instead, Syrian authorities offered them 22 people to interview as witnesses, he said, adding that he hoped "all necessary arrangements will be made.to allow the team to deploy to Douma as soon as possible".
The president said the attack's objective was to "degrade the Syrian military's ability to conduct further chemical weapons attacks and to dissuade the Syrian government from using or proliferating chemical weapons".

But the President's seeming shift raised questions about what exactly the USA will do in future, particularly about any gas attacks that might use chlorine, a common household chemical that has been deployed repeatedly in Syria, officials say. The OPCW inspectors have not yet been able to visit the site, and Uzumcu did not say when they would deploy.
Turkish officials say Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a scaling down of tensions over the chemical weapons issue in Syria during a call with Iran's President Hassan Rouhani.
Russian and Syrian officials are reportedly blocking investigators from the scene of the chemical weapons attack in Douma, a watchdog group said Monday.
"Vladimir Putin, in particular, stressed that if such actions committed in violation of the UN Charter continue, then it will inevitably lead to chaos in global relations", a Kremlin statement said.
But on Wednesday, OPCW said that's not what happened.
A United Nations source said the OPCW inspectors would probably not be going to Douma on Wednesday.
The town is under the protection of Russia's military police. "This is not an isolated incident-the Syrian regime has a clear history of using chemical weapons even after pledging that it had given up its chemical weapons program", the White House said in a statement.
The bombings, hailed by US President Donald Trump as a success but denounced by Damascus and its allies as an act of aggression, marked the biggest intervention by Western countries against Assad and ally Russian Federation.
