（单词翻译）

　　Russia has expressed disappointment at U.S. President Barack Obama's cancellation1 of next month's scheduled summit with President Vladimir Putin.
 
　　But Kremlin has said it remains2 ready to cooperate with the United States on many issues.
 
　　Obama's move is in response to Russia's decision to grant temporary asylum3 to Edward Snowden.
 
　　US spy agency contractor4 Snowden is accused of leaking intelligence information to the media, which Obama said could compromise American security.
 
　　"I was disappointed because, you know, even though we don't have an extradition5 treaty with them, traditionally we have tried to respect if there's a law breaker or alleged6 law breaker in their country, we evaluate it, and we try to work with them. They didn't do that with us."
 
　　Despite the decision not to meet one-on-one with President Putin, the White House says Obama still plans to attend the Group of 20 economic summit next month in St. Petersburg.
 
　　Obama and Putin last met in June on the sidelines of the Group of 8 summit in Northern Ireland.
 
　　Meanwhile, a meeting between the U.S and Russian foreign and defense7 ministers will take place as scheduled in Washington this Friday.
 
　　But analysts8 say they don't expect substantial progress to be made there.
