Putin may meet Rex Tillerson after all amid deepening crisis over Syria

Vladimir Putin will meet Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State, when he visits Moscow on Wednesday, Russian media reported citing government sources.

Mr Tillerson is expected to arrive in Moscow later today for talks with Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, amid a deepening confrontation over Russia’s role in Syria and a US missile strike against a government controlled airbase there.
