On the meeting of “Great Eight” in U.S. the Russian side will be
represented not by the President, but the Prime-Minister.
Officially appointed Russian President informed the U.S. colleague
about it himself three days ago.
Putin said, he needs to concentrate on forming the government and
therefore, he will not be able to travel to the United States.
According to BBC, in conversation with Obama, Russian commander
personally expressed his concern regarding his absence on the summit. The White
house press-service reported this information.
The G8 meeting is scheduled on May 18-19 in Camp
David.
