Summary
A breakthrough had appeared unlikely in the talks, which ended after about seven hours, with Moscow's threats and low expectations from both sides clouding the possibility of an end to fears that Russia is planning to invade its neighbor.Ahead of a flurry of diplomatic activity in Europe this week, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman held face-to-face talks with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Geneva."If Russia stays at the table and takes concrete steps to de-escalate tensions, we believe we can achieve progress," Sherman told reporters afterward.
