Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Western countries of "bias" and "double standards" with selective aid to Syria's opposition territories.
Speaking on Friday at a meeting with UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen, Lavrov said "key Western capitals" do not want to send humanitarian aid to the government controlled Syrian regions.
He said that instead the aid is sent to "the territories controlled by opposition and sometimes by radical opposition."
Lavrov also said "terrorists" hinder the delivery of the humanitarian aid to the Syrian territories, and asked target groups in Geneva to consider this issue.
Russian Foreign Minister admitted that the Constitutional Committee has not achieved "great results" but added that it was not "the end goal".
UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen agreed saying the important was "to continue to meet" and "to build confidence" between parties.
Pedersen also noted that 50% of Syrian population have left their homes and the priority for international society was to settle this issue first before proceeding to political questions.
