BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union has cancelled a traditional dinner with President Vladimir Putin at an EU-Russia summit in Brussels later this month to show there is no "business as usual" after a tug-of-war with Moscow over Ukraine.
Putin will visit Brussels on January 28 for his twice-yearly summit with the EU's top officials, despite relations being under strain. The summit is usually over two days but will be over in one this time, without the dinner on the night before.
