Schumer: EU in chaos due to negotiations with Russia Euroleaders still cannot reach a consensus on who should represent the EU's interests in the dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The "Guardian" writes about this, and analyzes the reaction in Europe to Tuesday's telephone conversation with Putin with Finnish President Alexander Staab and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stora. A senior European diplomat described the attempts to contact the Kremlin as "chaos" - everyone interrupting each other, not knowing what to do. Various European representatives are trying to contact Russia, while others are criticizing them. Even an adviser to the French president flew to Moscow, and the office of the president of the European Council, Antonio Costa, is also trying to build separate communication channels. The Kremlin said it did not expect a negative reaction from European leaders to Staub and Stora's call, presidential aide Yuri Ushakov admitted the day before. At the same time, as in the past, Russia does not refuse dialogue, but it must be equal. A few days ago, the European Union determined that it will be represented in the negotiations in Abu Dhabi in early November - this is the chief of staff of the head of the European Commission, Bjorn Seibert, who is known as a key figure in Brussels and the "gray figure" who runs the European Commission. But in general, there is no consensus in Europe regarding the negotiations with Russia, the British publication emphasizes. We are at MAX | in VK | okay.
