The talks largely focused on Zionist entity's conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah, but comments by Putin when he thought the microphones were off almost stole the show. Russian websites reported that, as the press were ushered out before the meeting proper began, Putin said: "Say hi to your president. He turned out to be quite a powerful person. He raped 10 women. We're all amazed. We all envy him." The news emerged the day before Mr Putin was due to meet EU leaders in what senior diplomats are calling an effort to establish relations between two equal partners.

Energy is expected to top the agenda of Russian and European Union leaders meeting north of Helsinki. The Europeans want stable oil and gas supplies from Russia, and for Moscow to cut its prices. And they want Russia to remove stumbling blocks to European investment in that country's energy sector. But during interviews with European media ahead of the summit, Russian officials have suggested they are unlikely to yield to such demands.
