Though the U.S. and its allies say the threat of military force has led Syrian President Bashar Assad to endorse a Russian plan for ceding control of his chemical weapons, the Syrian leader says “U.S. threats did not influence the decision.”

Russia’s RT.com newssite says Assad has told another Russian news channel that “Syria is handing over its chemical weapons under international supervision because of Russia,” not any pressure brought by the Obama administration’s talk of missile strikes.

We reported earlier on Secretary of State John Kerry’s arrival in Geneva for talks with his Russian counterpart about the potential diplomatic solution to the chemical weapons crisis. As we wrote, the commander of the Free Syrian Army has told NPR that “the Russian initiative is just a lie.”
