Kerry Meets With Lavrov in Switzerland
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Switzerland where he will meet with is Russian counterpart Monday.
Kerry arrived in Switzerland late Sunday ahead of talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about the conflict in Ukraine and the shooting of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov.
Kerry has called for a thorough investigation into Nemtsov's death. The Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin is overseeing the investigation, but critics say the president might not be the best person for that job as Nemtsov told the Russian media a few weeks ago that he thought Putin wanted him dead.
Kerry will also talk with Lavrov about Ukraine, where President Petro Poroshenko says Russian-backed separatists continue to violate a cease-fire agreement.
Later Monday, Kerry begins three days of talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an attempt to work out the details of a nuclear agreement with Iran.
