Russia is always ready for contacts with the US on Syria and invites US representatives to participate in the Astana format (Russia, Iran, and Turkey), but they refrain from actions, Mikhail Bogdanov, Russian Presidential Special Representative to the Middle East and Africa and Deputy Foreign Minister, told reporters on Monday.
"On the military side, there are probably some contacts. We are always ready for contacts," he said - "We always invite them as observers to the meetings of the Astana format, but lately they have been refraining."
