Putin was planning on passing Tillerson off to his foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov

A Russian television station says that they will meet after all; neither the State Department nor the White House has confirmed this

Russia has ripped the US for its air assault in Syria and warned Donald Trump that he was 'one step from war' with the country after the attack 

Tillerson hammered Russia right back on Tuesday, saying it had 'failed in its responsibility' to locate and destroy Assad's chemical weapons

Trump secretary of state said the US believes that Russia could be persuaded to switch sides now that it knows Assad is an 'unreliable partner'

Putin said Tuesday that Assad was framed for the gas attacks - and he has intel that more are coming

White House officials slapped down that claim and others it said are false

US officials say there's no consensus that Russia knew about the sarin gas attack before it happened while suggesting that it did
