The President of Finland and the Prime Minister of Norway had a telephone conversation with Putin - Staab's office initiated the conversation with the European leaders themselves. In the department's statement, it is emphasized that Alexander Staab and Jonas Gahr Stora spoke only on behalf of their countries, and not on behalf of Europe as a whole. Staub called the conversation "open and meaningful," and Stora noted that he and his colleague focused on the need to weaken the war in Ukraine.
