		</div><p>The unwillingness of the United States to work with Russia in Syria contributed to the loss of the ancient city of Palmyra to the Islamic State group, a Moscow spokesman has said.</p>
<p>Dmitry Peskov told journalists that <i>&#8220;the US does not want to cooperate&#8221;,</i> adding that <i>&#8220;cooperation would have probably allowed us to more effectively avoid such attacks from terrorists&#8221;.</i></p>
<p>Syrian troops aided by Russian airstrikes drove IS from Palmyra in March, but the militants stormed back into the city over the weekend &#8211; forcing the army to retreat despite a wave of Russian airstrikes.</p>
<p>The Syrian government and Russia had been focused on Aleppo, where they are close to defeating rebels that have held the eastern half of the northern city for four years.</p>
<p>Mr Peskov said that many of the IS fighters involved in the Palmyra assault had recently left the Iraqi city of Mosul, where US-backed Iraqi forces have been waging a two-month-old offensive against the militants.</p>
