Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday warned America and its allies against one-sided intervention in Syria, even as US said it not only risks losing friends but also credibility at the world stage if no military action is taken against the Bashar al-Assad regime.
Putin said any military strikes without UN approval would be “an aggression”, as he called for evidence on chemical weapons attack to be presented to the Security Council
He, however, softened his tone ahead of the G20 summit in Russia,saying he has not ruled out supporting a UN Security Council resolutionauthorising force, if it was proved “beyond doubt” that the Syriangovernment used chemical weapons.
