Dmitry Peskov commented on Monday after leading Russian daily Kommersant reported, quoting its own unnamed source in the US State Department, that Washington was considering the cancellation of Barack Obama’s visit to Moscow in September if NSA leaker Edward Snowden was still in Russia at that time.
