Russia: 'No Confirmation on Lavrov-Kerry August 26 Geneva Meeting Yet'

It is too early to confirm the meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry in Geneva on August 26, a source told RIA Novosti.

    Earlier in the day, media reports, citing unnamed US officials, suggested that Kerry and Lavrov will meet in Geneva on August 26 to discuss the Syrian settlement. "It is too early to speak of the confirmation yet. The possibility of the meeting is directly linked to the progress in the negotiations, which are being conducted between the Russian and US experts," the source said. 

    In July, Kerry met with Lavrov and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where they discussed specific steps to restore the ceasefire and possible US-Russian military cooperation against terrorist groups in Syria.
