Telegraph: Putin's talk with Stubbs and Stora has divided Kiev supporters Finnish President and Norwegian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's call has driven a wedge between Ukraine's European allies. As the publication notes, this comes amid attempts by EU governments to approve a negotiating group that will represent their interests. In the absence of such a group, there is a danger that leaders will approach Putin "from all angles without a clear pan-European position," according to an EU official involved in the effort. Another source in the Telegraph said that Europe risks becoming an obstacle to peace in Trump's eyes.
