The European Union's ambassador to Russia will not attend a ceremony to swear in Russian President Vladimir Putin for another term - in keeping with the position of most of the bloc's member states, a spokesperson said on Monday.
"Our ambassador will not be attending, most of the member states will not be attending," EU foreign affairs spokesperson Peter Stano said.
