Kerry: 'Clarity' achieved with Russia on Syria truce steps
2016-08-27
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says he and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov "have achieved clarity" on a path to restore a truce in Syria but details remain to be worked out, AP reported.
How much ransom did we pay this time?
After meeting off-and-on with Lavrov for nearly 10 hours in Geneva on Friday, Kerry said the "vast majority" of technical discussions on steps to reinstate the ceasefire and improve humanitarian access have been completed. Kerry says experts will remain in Geneva with an eye toward finalizing the unresolved steps in the coming days.

Friday's meeting came a month after the two men met in Moscow and agreed on a number of unspecified actions to get the all-but-ignored truce back in force. However, as in Moscow, neither Kerry nor Lavrov would describe them in detail.

#1  Based on a secret transcript of the secret meeting that I have secretly obtained, the discussion went something like this:

Lavrov: Stay the f**k out of our way.
Kerry: ... OK.
