Brussels, June 26 : European Union (EU) leaders have failed to agree on the way forward on relations with Moscow, with most of them rejecting a proposal by France and Germany to hold a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The idea was floated following US President Joe Biden s meeting with Putin in Geneva, with French President Emmanuel Macron saying a summit with the latter would be a dialogue to defend our interests , reports Xinhua news agency.
But in a statement issued on Friday after the long EU leaders meeting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told journalists: We couldn t agree today that we would meet immediately at management level, that is, at executive level. Personally, I would have liked a more courageous step here.
