U.S. Secretary of State to meet Putin and Lavrov
克里会见普京和拉夫罗夫
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi for high-level talks seeking to push Moscow to fully implement the shaky Ukraine ceasefire deal.
Kerry is set to hold talks with both the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian President Vladimir Putin. They are likely to talk about the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, nuclear talks with Iran, as well as the conflict in Syria. The US State Department said that Kerry's trip is part of Washington's effort to maintain direct lines of communication with senior Russian officials, as well as to ensure that American views are clearly understood. Kerry will later fly to Antalya in Turkey for Wednesday's meeting with NATO foreign ministers.
