He made the remarks after the fifth round of Syrian peace talks in Astana.
"I would like to emphasise that these are non-combat units of the regular army, they are non-combat police units with specific, non-combat tasks," he said.
He said that Russian military police in Syria will have light weapons for self-defence.
He also called on members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to consider sending military observers to the peacekeeping mission in de-escalation zones in Syria.
