Russia's Lavrov says EU's Tusk stoking tension over Ukraine

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused European Council President Donald Tusk and Brussels bureaucrats on Tuesday of stirring up tensions between Moscow and the bloc over the crisis in Ukraine.

Lavrov told reporters Tusk had "apologised" that the EU had not acted as quickly over Moscow as the United States during a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday -- though no such comments appeared in White House or EU accounts of the talks.
