The new US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, has met his Russian counterpart on the margins of a G20 foreign ministers summit in Bonn for the highest-level face-to-face contact between the two countries since the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Sergei Lavrov, Tillerson said he was ready to work with Russia if there were common areas for cooperation, but that Moscow had to adhere to commitments made over Ukraine.
“As we search for new common ground we expect Russia to honour its commitment to the Minsk agreements and work to de-escalate violence in Ukraine,” he said.
