Kerry, Russia’s Lavrov to meet in Hamburg to discuss Syria
MOSCOW — A spokeswoman for Russia’s Foreign Ministry says U.S. Secretary State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are meeting for talks later in the day.
Maria Zakharova said at a news conference Wednesday that Lavrov will travel later in the day to meet Kerry in Hamburg, a day earlier than expected.
Kerry said Tuesday that he hopes to convince Syria’s warring factions and their backers to return to the negotiating table before the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo is destroyed.
