GENEVA - UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said on Thursday he was hopeful that a US-Russia meeting would make progress on the Syria peace process within hours, including a halt to indiscriminate bombing and a formula for political transition.
"Let's see what happens in Moscow in next few hours. Let's hope there is some type of general understanding or progress," he told reporters in Geneva, as US Secretary of State John Kerry prepared to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Secretary Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.
