"I don't quite understand how our American partners can criticize Russia's actions in Syria in the fight against international terrorism if they refuse to hold direct dialogue even in such an important area as political settlement."

Earlier this week Putin said he was willing to send a high-profile delegation to the United States led by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
Late last month Moscow launched a bombing campaign in Syria, saying it needed to target the terrorist groups and gunmen operating against the Syrian government across the country.
