奥巴马普京诺曼底会面
US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Valdimir Putin have met, as world leaders
commemorate the D-Day landings in Normandy, in the north of France.
Obama and Putin had a short conversation on Friday inside the French chateau where they attended a leaders’ lunch, marking the first time they have spoken face-to-face since the crisis in Ukraine began. A White House official says the two leaders held an informal conversation, instead of a formal, bilateral meeting.
The conversation lasted 10 to 15 minutes. The official said Obama urged Putin to recognize Ukrainian president-elect Petro Poroshenko as Ukraine’s leader, and to cut off arms supplies to rebels.
