САЩ: Обама и Путин се срещнаха на събрание на ООН

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with his US counterpart Barack Obama on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Monday. The footage shows both presidents shaking hands and posing for the press before the meeting behind closed doors. Putin and Obama will reportedly discuss key international issues with a focus on the situation in the Middle East and Ukraine. After the meeting, the Russian President will take part in a press conference. Earlier on Monday, Putin blamed NATO's policy of expansionism for the Ukrainian conflict during his address at the United Nations General Assembly. Discussing Western sanctions against Russia, Putin said that they were "not only politically motivated, but also serve as a tool to remove competitors from the market."
