Tillerson says U.S. expects Russia to meet Ukraine commitments

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Thursday that the United States was ready to work with Russia if it found common areas for cooperation, but said Moscow had to adhere to commitments made over Ukraine. "As we search for new common ground we expect Russia to honor its commitment to the Minsk agreements and work to de-escalate violence in Ukraine," Tillerson told reporters after meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. Tillerson said he had a productive meeting with Lavrov and the two men discussed a range of issues of mutual concern.
