Russia's military says rebel groups have increased attacks in Syria despite a ceasefire and has urged the US to act or be responsible for its collapse.
Russian generals said attacks by rebels, some US-backed, had increased sharply over the past 24 hours.
Gen Viktor Poznikhir said the rebel groups had "not met a single obligation" of the truce.
President Vladimir Putin earlier accused the rebel groups of exploiting the ceasefire to regroup.
Russian General Vladimir Savchenko said "the situation in Syria is worsening", with 55 attacks over the past 24 hours, leading to the deaths of 12 civilians.
Gen Poznikhir said Russia, an ally of the Syrian government, was doing all it could to rein in Syrian troops.
"If the American side does not take the necessary measures to carry out its obligations... a breakdown of the ceasefire will be on the United States," he said.
"The United States and the so-called moderate groups they control have not met a single obligation they assumed in the framework of the Geneva agreement."
The terms require moderate rebel groups to separate themselves from militant factions.
"Without separating, the government troops' hands are tied," Gen Poznikhir said.
"Our repeated messages to the American side are left without a response.. There is doubt that the US is able to influence the moderate opposition they control."
Ceasefire breaches have been reported from both sides since the truce began.
The US is yet to respond to the latest Russian statements.
But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry did speak by telephone on Saturday.
Mr Lavrov said he had urged the publication of the Syria ceasefire document, echoing a call from Mr Putin, and for US military officials to be deployed to monitor the truce.
Aleppo aid
In televised remarks during a visit to Kyrgyzstan, Mr Putin said Moscow was keeping to its obligations under the truce, and the Syrian government was "fully abiding" by the agreement.
But he said that the US seemed to be trying to maintain the rebels' military capability in its conflict with the government, adding that this was a "dangerous path".
"What we're seeing now is not the separation of the terrorists from the healthy part of the opposition but an attempt by these terrorists to regroup," he said.
Previously Moscow has threatened to resume air strikes on "moderate" rebel groups if this separation did not happen.
Both the US and Russia have said that they do want to extend the ceasefire.
If it holds for seven days, the US and Russia have agreed to plan joint attacks on the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham group, which was previously known as the al-Nusra Front, and IS.
Separately, the UN says it is still waiting to be able to deliver aid to the besieged city of Aleppo.
Some 20 trucks have been waiting since Monday for safe passage from Turkey into Syria and on to rebel-held east Aleppo.
However, the UN says it has not yet received permits from the Syrian government to allow the trucks into opposition areas, where at least 250,000 people are in desperate need of food and medicine.
