ASTANA, October 15. /TASS/. The US decision not to receive a Russian delegation led by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is "unconstructive," Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
"I believe this position is unconstructive. The weakness of this stance is based on the apparent lack of any agenda. It seems that there is nothing to talk about," the Russian leader said aforeifter talks with his Kazakhstani counterpart in Astana.
Putin also said he could not understand why Washington criticizes Russia’s operation in Syria as it refuses to hold a direct dialogue itself. The Russian leader stressed that Russia "leaves the door open for" the discussion on Syria with all the parties concerned.
