Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk paid a visit to Russia today, hoping to establish warmer ties between the two countries - despite rifts over energy supplies and the US missile defense program. At the Kremlin, Tusk discussed bilateral issues with President Vladimir Putin and his likely successor Dmitry Medvedev.

Ties between the largest ex-communist EU member and its neighbor, Russia, have been all but frozen for the last two years.  Political analysts have welcomed the resumption of dialogue, but stress that serious challenges remain. Danuta Isler reports from Warsaw.
