BBC Europe – Putin says Russia not aiming to divide EU. His remarks come ahead of a visit to Austria, his first trip to a Western European country in almost a year. He told Austrian ORF TV he wanted a “united and prosperous” EU, calling it Russia’s most important commercial and economic partner. The pro-Putin United Russia party has close links with far-right parties in the EU, which alarms many liberals.
