corps, today's meeting was constructive, practical and surprisingly frank. he admitted ties between washington and moscow were at a low level but blamed that on what he called his american partners' position. in talks that covered ukraine and syria. earlier at lunch, an awkward handshake and seated so close to each other, no way to avoid a toast. there were no agreements. in a hard-hitting u.n. speech, putin argued to keep syria's president assad. obama said assad who has massacred his own people is the problem, not the solution. >> let's remember how this started. assad reacted to peaceful protests by escalating repression and killing and in turn created the environment for the current strife. >> reporter: but for a leader eager to project himself on the world stage, the u.n. trip was a public relations bonanza for the russian president.
