It goes a step beyond just being hypocrtical in this situation. It's full on deceptive.
Russia is the one supplying Assad with weapons. Russia is putting out this statement not because they want a non-interventionist policy in Syria, but becasue they want to be the only one intervening . They want their side to win.
Putin promotes the ideals of democracy several times. Meanwhile he is funding a dictator and going out of his way to defeat any chance of democracy in Syria.
