The Free Syrian Army (FSA) says it wants no help from Russian military forces in the war in Syria.

Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, on Saturday, said Russia was willing and ready to help them, if they wanted to attack militants from the Islamic State (IS).

He said the Russian Air Force could support the FSA, provided the United States (U.S.) shared information about rebel positions.

But an FSA spokesperson, said President Vladimir Putin was assisting a regime that indiscriminately killed its own people, and questioned its help.

Russian air support has allowed President Assad’s forces to launch ground operations in several provinces in recent weeks.

The President, on Sunday, hosted a visiting delegation of Russian parliamentarians in Damascus, and again he said he was grateful for Moscow’s support, as eliminating terrorist groups would resolve the country’s problems.
