Russia’s TASS news agency cited Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov as telling newsmen in Tokyo that Putin had explained Russia’s stance on the issue to Obama on the sidelines of the G20 summit in September.
“There was a tete-a-tete conversation and different themes were discussed.
“This theme was touched upon, a really clear reply was given by our side which perhaps did not fit with what Obama was trying to explain to us,’’ Ushakov was cited as saying.
