Why Russia welcome rebels in peace talks while they called them "terrorists" and fighting them in the ground?

The armed opposition will come to peace talk and your regime should negociate with all parties.

The USA is not invited. Your "armed opposition" will once again show the world what they really are - a bunch of barbaric Islamists - which will be the reason for the little media coverage like the last talks in Geneva.
 
President Assad on the talks:

"The Syrian president said members of the armed groups "should refuse from arms and receive the governmental amnesty."

"This is the only we should be expecting at this time," he said. "We hope, Astana will be a platform for contacts between all the Syrian sides, where all issues will be discussed."

"I think, in the beginning the talks will focus on ceasefire and protection of civilians, on allowing humanitarian assistance to the regions," he said. "As yet it is not clear whether a political dialogue will take place at the conference in Astana."

"We are still unaware of who [representing the opposition] will participate in the talks," the Syrian president said."

Mysterious non-terrorist rebels declared they are willing to unite with the army as soon as the transition process begins. The Astana talks are not up to begin any kind of transition of power in Syria and the mysterious rebels declared they would fight terrorism independently in case no transition takes place. Currently, government and "opposition" do not directly talk but via Russian and Turkish proxies.
The SDF is angry because they are excluded from the talks. This is due to Russia´s friendly overtures towards Erdogan and the Turkish government, who claim the YPG, the basis of the SDF, is like ISIS and if they are invited to the talks, ISIS must be invited too.

The Syrian government rejected a Kurdish autonomy proposal issued by Russia, stressing local autonomy is subject to nationwide referendum and calling federalism crazy.

"According to the Syrian state media, during the Syrian peace talks in Astana last week, the Syrian government envoy Bashar Jaafari, said that the issue of federalism would be decided “by all Syrians and not decided unilaterally by a single component,” adding that all ideas “even one as crazy as federalism, must be put to a democratic vote”

“It’s completely unacceptable for a group of people to decide to create a statelet and call it federalism,” Jaafari continued."
