Putin says Russia's greenhouse gas emissions should be less than EU's

President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia's emissions of greenhouse gases should be less than the European Union's over the next 30 years, but that it would be difficult to reach that goal given Russia's size.

The Kremlin leader made the comments at his annual state-of-the-nation speech to top officials and lawmakers from both houses of parliament.
