Putin Warns U.S. Congress against Approving Syria 'Aggression'

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday warned the U.S. Congress it would be approving an "aggression" against Syria if it allowed U.S.-led military strikes against the regime of President Bashar Assad.

"They would be allowing an aggression since everything that is outside the framework of the U.N. Security Council is an aggression, unless it is self-defense," Putin told members of his human rights council in the Kremlin, Russian news agencies reported.
