Putin Dismisses U.S. Claim on Syria Chemical Weapons Use: Calls it ‘Utter Nonsense

Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded on Saturday the U.S. provide indisputable proof Syria employed the use of chemical weapons in an attack on the Damascus suburbs earlier this month, adding that such claims appeared to be “utter nonsense.”

“Regarding the position of our American colleagues, who affirm that government troops used… chemical weapons, and say that they have proof, well, let them show it to the United Nations inspectors and the Security Council,” Putin reportedly told journalists. “If they don’t show it, that means there is none.”
