Just a regional war? When he's talking about attacking one of Russia's biggest allies?

Putin seems to be having a change of heart. The current stance is that if the use of chemical weapons is proved, and UN approval is obtained, Russia could back intervention. If that is not a green light, I don't know what is.

This story is a few months old (first time I'd read that the rebels were using sarin, apologies if it's general knowledge):

GENEVA | Sun May 5, 2013 6:13pm EDT
"(Reuters) - U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syria's civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday."
