The fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin, when talking to reporters on Monday after the recent discussions with Barack Obama, called him by his first name, Barack, is not accidental, the head of the press service of the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, said in an interview to the host of ‘Saturday News’, Sergey Brilev.
"They address each other as ‘Vladimir and Barack’. They have a quiet working and constructive relationship, which allows to them to deal calmly with sharp tasks and not hide the lack of understanding which takes place on various topics,’’ TASS quotes him as saying.
