WarMonitor on Nostr: Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre ...
Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, followed by calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Reuters reported.
Stubb’s office said his conversation with Putin focused on upcoming meetings in Abu Dhabi. Zelenskyy said Friday that Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. negotiators had agreed to hold technical-level talks there in early November.
Stubb described his call with Putin as “frank and substantive,” emphasizing that the outcome of the war would directly affect Finland’s and Europe’s broader security. He added that ending the conflict would require direct discussions.
A Zelenskyy aide confirmed that the Ukrainian president spoke with both leaders afterward. Stubb and Støre stressed that they participated as representatives of their respective countries, rather than on behalf of Europe, and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Ukraine.
According to Reuters, most Western European leaders have avoided direct contact with Putin since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Stubb and Støre met U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Zelenskyy in Oslo last week, a day before Witkoff held talks with Putin in St. Petersburg. Following that meeting, the Kremlin said it was prepared to resume U.S.-mediated peace talks with Ukraine in November, marking the first such discussions since February.
