New Disinformation!
Could not find BBC article for what was cited.

But I found this on BBC:
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former commanding officer of the British Armed Forces Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Regiment, said Russia's assertion that the strikes had hit rebel chemical weapons were "pretty fanciful".

"Axiomatically, if you blow up Sarin, you destroy it," he told the BBC.

Experts say the explosion resulting from an air strike on a chemical weapons facility would most likely incinerate any agents. Sarin and other nerve agents are also usually stocked in a "binary manner", which means they are kept as two distinct chemical precursors that are combined just before use, either manually or automatically inside a weapon when launched.

"It's very clear it's a Sarin attack," Mr de Bretton-Gordon added. "The view that it's an al-Qaeda or rebel stockpile of Sarin that's been blown up in an explosion, I think is completely unsustainable and completely untrue."

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

New The origin was a radio broadcast excerpt

He claims the attack did not happen because "you can not see chemical weapons falling from the sky" as was claimed by witnesses. That is a rather odd blanket statement as it would be dependent on the delivery method. You can see stuff being dropped by a low flying plane.
New Did you read the linked article? Bombing the store isn't what was suggested.
Or is a professor emeritus of M.I.T. also a Putin tool?

Yet the administration’s report has come under withering scrutiny from Dr. Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus of science, technology, and national-security policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who once served as a scientific adviser to the chief of naval operations at the Pentagon.

Postol’s exhaustive critique of the White House report notes that “The only undisputable facts stated in the White House report is the claim that a chemical attack using nerve agent occurred in Khan Shaykhun, Syria.” And yet, according to Postol, “the report contains absolutely no evidence that this attack was the result of a munition being dropped from an aircraft. In fact, the report contains absolutely no evidence that would indicate who was the perpetrator of this atrocity.”

Postol writes that “The only source the document cites as evidence that the attack was by the Syrian government is the crater it claims to have identified on a road in the North of Khan Shaykhun.” Yet his analysis of the photographs of the crater provided by the White House “clearly indicates that the munition was almost certainly placed on the ground with an external detonating explosive on top of it that crushed the container so as to disperse the alleged load of sarin.”


Edit:
Alex, I understand you have a justifiable, deep, abiding mistrust of Russians. In this instance, I'm a little concerned that this completely understandable distrust of Russians is blinding you to the fact that no real proof has been offered to justify an illegal bombing of Syria by us.

New Well Postol didn't believe the first sarin attack either.
Wikipedia:
Postol has written about the 2013 Ghouta chemical attack, and he has collaborated with Maram Susli (known online as 'Syrian Girl' or 'PartisanGirl') in examining YouTube footage and other sources. Together they believe they found a number of items to be inconsistent with the conventional narrative of the incident. Together with 'Syrian Girl' and Richard Lloyd, Postol argued that the Ghouta chemical attack did not seem to have been launched by the Syrian government
And yet Assad agreed to turn in his stockpile of chemical weapons.
