A reconnaissance ship left Russia's naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol late on Sunday on a mission "to gather current information in the area of the escalating conflict," as reports come out that Russia is moving their warships closer to Syria.
Russia also repeated their assertion on Monday that the U.S. had not proved its allegations against Syrian leadership, and that the chemical attack Barack Obama accuses the Assad regime of, may have been staged by Syrian rebels to provoke outside intervention in the more than two-year-old civil war.
This comes on the heels of the British Parliament rejecting the PM's proposal to join the U.S. in a military attack against Syria and stating there was not enough hard evidence to justify bombing Syria.
Russia has called the evidence against the Assad regime, "absolutely unconvincing."
