Russia Has Right to Expect Constructiveness in Ties With US on Syria - Kremlin

"Russia and the United States are serious world powers, [which] are without doubt consistent in their policies, and mainly consistent in defending their interests. But we consider ourselves to have the right to expect greater constructiveness in speaking to each other. And, of course, [to expect] greater synchronization of positions of different agencies when dialogue is taking place," Peskov told reporters.

The official pointed out that Russia has never refused to speak to the United States on the Syrian issue, but would like to have constructive, not fruitless, dialogue.
