BBC News - Russia's Vladimir Putin challenges US on Syria claims
I think Putin himself is making a visible challenge to Obama.
"If there is evidence it should be shown. If it is not shown, then there isn't any," he said.
Mr Putin also expressed surprise at a vote in the British parliament on Thursday ruling out participation in military action.
"I will be honest: this was completely unexpected for me," he said.
"This shows that in Great Britain, even if it is the USA's main geopolitical ally in the world... there are people who are guided by national interests and common sense, and value their sovereignty."
He said that the US failure to present evidence to the international community was "simply disrespectful".
"If there is evidence it should be shown. If it is not shown, then there isn't any," he said.
