US, Russian diplomats to meet this week in Washington

The two men will talk about how to end fighting between Ukrainian troops and Russian backed separatist rebels.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, seen here at a meeting in Moscow in April, will meet in Washington on Moscow on May 10.

The department, in a statement on Monday, said the two men will talk about how to end fighting between Ukrainian troops and Russian backed separatist rebels.

It added that on Syria, Tillerson "intends to discuss efforts to de-escalate violence, provide humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people, and set the stage for a political settlement of the conflict."

Russia is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
