Vladimir Putin to attend London Olympics - Daily Telegraph
The visit would be Putin's first UK trip since he attended the G8 summit in Gleneagles in 2005.
Putin was invited on a state visit to Britain by Tony Blair in 2003, but relations between the two countries have soured since the 2006 murder of Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who died from poisoning by radioactive polonium. Many of Putin's foes have also received asylum in Great Britain.
Russia has refused to extradite Andrei Lugovoy, an ex-KGB bodyguard Britain wants to prosecute for Litvinenko's murder. The incident sent ties between the countries plunging to a post-Cold War low and led to tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions.
A number of British politicians including former Europe minister Denis MacShane have said Putin should not be welcome at the Olympic Games because of human rights abuses in Russia.
Mr Cameron visited Moscow last year, ending a four-year period during which Putin has had no high-level contact with British officials. On Monday, Mr Cameron had to wait for Mr Putin who was late after an extended meeting with US President Barack Obama.
"The Prime Minister kindly agreed to wait and used the pause to work with documents," Mr Peskov said. He said the two leaders exchanged jokes about euro 2012.

ROYAL INVITATION: Dawn Belcher and Stephen Bromby fro Boston's Asda mingled with the Queen and Prince William during a community event in Nottingham.
The event was part of the Fields in Trust campaign to protect 2,012 outdoor recreational spaces across the country and of which Asda is a principal partner.
The Queen was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Boston Asda duo were introduced to Prince William who is patron of Fields in Trust.
Mr Bromby told the Target: "The event was a truly special day with the ceremony to mark the dedication of Vernon Park as a Queen Elizabeth II Field along with a series of activities to showcase all the wonderful opportunities outdoor recreational spaces can provide.
"As soon as we were introduced to Prince William he asked for an Asda pocket-tap. It's amazing to think that he knows the Asda thing."
Boston Asda has already built relationships with its local Fields in Trust space, Glen Park at Surfleet, by helping with funding and volunteers for the jubilee party on June 4.
Every Asda store has been challenged to raise £2,012 to help Fields in Trust and the Boston store in Lister Way is holding various events throughout the year led by staff member Sue Jackson.
