Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday blasted Washington's "unconstructive position" on Syria after the Kremlin said the United States declined to host a high-level delegation from Moscow.

"I believe this is an unconstructive position," Putin said on a visit to the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan.

"I don't quite understand how our American partners can criticise 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."

"What apparently lies at the heart of the weakness of the American position is a lack of any kind of agenda," Putin said in televised remarks

"It looks like they have nothing to talk about."

"Nevertheless, we are keeping our doors open and very much hope for dialogue with all the participants of this complicated process, including with our American partners."

Earlier this week Putin said he was willing to send a high-profile delegation to the United States led by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

He also accused Washington of seeming not to know what its goals were in Syria.

"I believe some of our partners simply have mush for brains," Putin said in those earlier remarks.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday said Washington had declined to host a delegation from Russia and also refused to send its own mission to Moscow.

But Washington said it was not interested in having any talks while Moscow keeps bombing Western-backed moderate rebels in Syria under cover of its fight against Islamic State jihadists.

"We’ve said that we’re not interested in doing that as long as Russia is not willing to make a constructive contribution to our counter-ISIL effort," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Wednesday.

"Russia has their own agenda, and it’s an agenda right now that they’re pursuing on their own," he said.

Putin at the weekend said that the goal of Moscow's air campaign was to "stabilise the legitimate authorities", while Washington has repeatedly said Syria's embattled leader Bashar al-Assad should go.

It is either u eat yam with oil or relish d taste of oil with yam. Which ever dat comes first, do the needful by annihilating d stronghold or spread of ISIS.

“I believe some of our partners simply have mush for brains - Putin said in those earlier remarks”.

I believe Putin was referring to George Bush Snr, Joe Biden, Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Soros and John Mccain - Those are the a.ssholes that call the shots in America, while figurehead-Obama only carries out their orders

Lord Putin, forget about Yahweh, you're a God among men and a father to the fatherless.

Lordave:
Hypocrisy is when Nigerians are backing Russia against America yet more than "100,000" Nigerians apply for American visa yearly(and some of them commit suicide if denied the visa) while less than 300 apply for Russian Visa.

Nigeria is 170 million people, that 100k are people like you.

America doesnt want d war in syria,middle east or anywhere in the world to end,so dat dy can continue to police d world nd act like d gud guys,wit hidden agendas.
