BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union will press U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday to help reduce Europe's reliance on Russian energy by exporting U.S. natural gas, at a time of chill in relations with Moscow over its intervention in Ukraine.

After a visit to a World War One battlefield, Obama will have just 75 minutes over lunch with the EU's top officials to tackle issues ranging from energy to climate change, in a meeting that will be dominated by the Ukraine crisis.
