MOSCOW: Russia’s foreign ministry on Tuesday said international powers will meet to discuss the Syria crisis in Vienna on May 17, with recent fighting threatening to derail fledgling peace efforts.

A spokeswoman told AFP that minister Sergei Lavrov “is planning” to take part in the meeting of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) — which includes 17 key nations — in the Austrian capital next week.
