Obama speaks with Putin on Snowden, but no sign of movement
None
President Barack Obama raised US concerns directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday over Moscow's handling of Edward Snowden, but there was no sign of a breakthrough on Washington's demand that Russia expel him.
"The two leaders noted the importance of US-Russian bilateral relations and discussed a range of security and bilateral issues, including the status of Mr. Edward Snowden," the statement said, offering little indication that Putin was prepared to send Snowden back to the United States. (AP)
