EUX.TV - ANALYSIS: Divided EU struggles to forge close ties with Russia- by Shada Islam,dp

Relations between Europe and Russia contain a "level of misunderstanding or even mistrust we have not seen since the end of the Cold War," EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson said recently.
Javier Solana, EU foreign and security policy chief, has also appealed for "calm" in EU-Russia links, arguing that given Moscow's global clout and vast energy resources, the two sides must forge a "deep and solid relationship."
