Report: Putin Ceases 'High-Level' Contact with Obama Administration: The Daily Beast is reporting exclusively that Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered an end to communication with President Obama and high-level officials in the White House. The move follows a report that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel could not get through to his Russian counterpart Friday.
According to sources speaking to the website, it appears that President Putin feels pressured to involve the United States in the evolving situation in Ukraine. This has put him off to the point of discontinuing any communication with President Obama. “Putin will not talk to Obama under pressure,” Igor Yurgens, chairman of the Institute for Contemporary Development, told the Daily Beast. While he added that "it does not mean forever," the situation is indefinite for now.
