Russian President Vladimir Putin says he does not rule out supporting a U.N. authorization of military force against Syria if there is proof government forces used chemical weapons against civilians.
He told the Associated Press and Russian television that the United States should present "convincing" evidence to the U.N., and warned the U.S. against taking military action without U.N. approval.

Putin also said Russia has suspended the delivery of S-300 surface-to-air missile components to Syria, but would reconsider if steps are taken that "violate international norms."

Russia is hosting the G20 summit later this week in St. Petersburg, where Syria is expected to be high on the agenda.

U.S. President Barack Obama has been seeking domestic and intenational support for taking action against Syria. He is stopping in Stockholm for a one-day visit before flying on to Russia.

  1. Putin is a modern day Hitler. He supports his weak economy by opposing any sensible & humanitarian initiative to remain controvetially relevant. He sees such conflicts as opportunity to sell weapons. I wonder why any sensible person will still be supporting that satanic devil called Assad of Syria. Blood of innocent souls he is massacering daily will seek vengeance on him.
