US-Russian Diplomats To Meet On July 17 In Washington

WASHINGTON: In the midst of a firestorm over Russian meddling in last year's US election, senior diplomats from both countries will meet next week to consider a number of disputes, the State Department said Tuesday.
Career diplomat Thomas Shannon, the US State Department's third-in-command, will host Russia's deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov in Washington on July 17, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said.
Moscow had canceled a previously scheduled late-June meeting in St. Petersburg between the counterparts, citing new US sanctions linked to the conflict in Ukraine.
"Shannon has been hard at work as we have been trying to find areas that we could deal with some of these so-called irritants," Nauert said, without elaborating.
Diplomats quoted by Russian news agencies stressed that Shannon and Ryabkov would discuss sanctions imposed last December at the tailend of Barack Obama's presidency, which led to the expulsion of some 30 Russian diplomats and spies, as well as the closure of two stateside Russian residential complexes.
The two officials will also likely take on issues concerning Ukraine and Syria, according to US diplomats.
