He says initial military operations by Russia did not add to efforts to deter IS, and in some ways, strengthened it.
Obama says he told Russian President Vladimir Putin during a recent conversation that he needs to target those who killed Russian citizens. He says Russia has not officially committed to a transition that would move Assad out of power, but has agreed to a political transition process.
Obama commented Sunday at the close of a summit in Malaysia.
In the wake of the Paris terror attacks, Obama will host French President Francois Hollande at the White House on Tuesday.
