Kerry Says Visit to Moscow 'Important Moment' in US-Russia Relations

US State Secretary John Kerry on Wednesday labeled his visit to Moscow an "important moment" in relations between the United States and Russia.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) —  Earlier on Wednesday, Kerry landed in Moscow for a two-day visit, which is the first this year and the third over the past 12 months.

​On Thursday, Kerry is scheduled to hold meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Relations between Moscow and Washington deteriorated in 2014, when the United States, the European Union and some of their allies imposed a series of sanctions targeting key Russian sectors of economy as well as a number of individuals and entities over Russia’s reunification with Crimea and its alleged interference in the conflict between Kiev and independence supporters in eastern Ukraine, denied by Moscow.
