There is already enough tension between Israel and Palestine at the moment, throw in Syria and the regional backlash could easily get out of hand. With Russia already having a Naval base in Syria there is some responsibility for this nation to take the lead in sorting out the ongoing hostilities. Sounds like US, NATO is preparing to step in if Russia does fail in its leadership.
Since Russia vetoed the UN resolution they wont be invading Syria, so I dont see any ifs to if Russia will invade Syria, they were already clear they wont.
