Hangzhou, China (CNN) US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin were meeting Monday as talks between their governments on ending violence in Syria ended without an agreement. The two leaders were conversing on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit here, according to a US National Security Council spokesman. More details about their discussion were expected later Monday, but US officials said before the summit that Syria and Ukraine would likely be on the agenda of an Obama-Putin huddle. But negotiators failed to work though differences, and the talks have ended for now. Neither side indicated what the points of contention were, or when they expected talks to resume.
