Reuters: Obama, Putin talk about Syria and Ukraine in quick summit meet
U.S. President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke for around four minutes on Sunday at the APEC summit about Syria and Ukraine, in what is likely to be their last in-person meeting before Obama leaves office.
The two men met at the start of the summit meeting in Lima, Peru's capital. They exchanged pleasantries and remained standing as they spoke.

"As usual I was candid and courteous but very clear about the strong differences we have on policy," Obama said.
