(Daily Telegraph) Vladimir Putin hosts US Secretary of State in the Kremlin --Rex Tillerson's motorcade arrived at the Kremlin around 4 PM London time, and he has been speaking to Mr Putin for nearly an hour. The meeting follows a day of talks between Mr Tillerson and his Russian counterpart, foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, as Washington and Moscow seek to defuse a simmering confrontation over the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons. Top of the agenda will be US demands that Mr Putin ditch his ally Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president who the US have accused of using chemical weapons on civilians in a horrific attack last week. Mr Putin is unlikely to bow to those demands - and will likely demand assurances that there will be no repeat of the US missile strikes on a Syrian airbase on April 7. Mr Tillerson is the first official from Donald Trump's administration to meet Mr Putin face to face. So no pressure. |

(Daily telegraph) Allegations that Russia interfered in US election are "not proven" --Mr Lavrov says the allegations of Moscow's meddling in the US presidential election haven't been proven. He said Moscow hasn't seen "a single fact, or even a hint at facts" proving the U.S. allegations of Russian interference. He added that Russia would consider such facts, if they are provided. Russia has called the allegations "slanderous". |
