Crisis still the main subject at Obama Medvedev talks
Economics remains one of the main topics of the Moscow talks. Russia says international financial institutions need revamping. Along with others countries, it also questions dollar’s role as the world's reserve currency.
The US and Russia are being hit by the global financial crisis in very different ways.

Russia-US relations are being restored after significant degradation, President Medvedev told the Italian media, adding that he hopes his upcoming meeting with Barack Obama in Moscow will bring some real results.
Alessandro Cassieri: Mr. President, you are going to meet with President Obama before the G8 summit. My first question is: what is the current state of US-Russian relations? Are they really being reset? And what do you expect from the G8 talks on how to tackle the global crisis?
Dmitry Medvedev: There is a lot we can say about Russian-American relations. They are a key element of international politics.
