Američki predsjednik Barack Obama i njegov ruski kolega Vladimir Putin počeli su u ponedjeljak poslije podne po mjesnom vremenu razgovore u sjedištu UN-a u New Yorku o sirijskoj krizi i borbi protiv Islamske države. Nakon više od dvije godine to je prvi službeni susret dvojice predsjednika koji su kratko stisnuli jedan drugome ruku i pred novinarima nekoliko minuta nisu progovorili ni riječ. U izlaganjima za govornicom u sklopu zasjedanja Opće skupštine Ujedinjenih naroda u ponedjeljak ujutro, Obama i Putin iznijeli su različita stajališta o ratu u Siriji koji traje već četiri i po godine i odnio je više od 240.000 života. Ruski predsjednik, koji je pozvao na osnutak široke antiterorističke koalicije protiv džihadista IS-a, rekao je da je nužno u tom ratu osloniti se na predsjednika Sirije Bašara al-Asada.

Vladimir Putin to meet with John Bolton over plans for summit with Donald Trump
Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, will host US National Security Advisor John Bolton on Wednesday for talks aimed at laying the groundwork for a summit with Donald Trump, the US President. "The president will host Bolton at the Kremlin," Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "Such talks will take place today," he said, adding that Mr Trump's advisor would also meet with several top Russian officials. Mr Bolton was already travelling to Moscow to discuss a meeting between the US president and Vladimir Putin that could coincide with the World Cup final. The timing of the summit has raised questions about whether Mr Trump, who bragged this month about bringing the 2026 World Cup to North America, could defy expectations and visit the Russian capital for the denouement of the 2018 tournament. Benjamin Netanyahu is also considering coming to the game, and Mahmoud Abbas has already accepted an invitation from Mr Putin to attend, raising the possibility of an … [Read more...] about Vladimir Putin to meet with John Bolton over plans for summit with Donald Trump
