Kerry in Geneva for Ukraine Talks as Conflict Toll Tops 6,000 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting with Russian counterpart Sergey
Lavrov in Geneva to discuss the conflict in Ukraine. The meeting comes
just days after Kerry publicly accused Russian officials of lying to his
face about their military support for separatist rebels. Russia and
Ukraine are also holding direct talks in Brussels to resolve a dispute
over the delivery of Russian gas. The United States said today the death
toll from the nearly year-old conflict has topped 6,000. A recent
ceasefire continues to hold after a shaky start.
