Russia "disappointed" by Obama's decision not to meet Putin

U.S. President Barack Obama's decision to cancel a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is disappointing, a top Kremlin foreign policy aide said on Wednesday. Speaking with reporters in a phone conference, Putin's foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said the move was caused by a dispute between the two countries over ex-U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden, to whom Russia granted temporary asylum last week. He added Russia's invitation for Obama to visit Russia was still in force.
