Russian President Vladimir Putin reported on his conversation with Stav and Stora, which was initiated by them. He emphasized that he considers it appropriate to receive talks from the leaders of Finland and Norway, despite the negative reaction in Europe. Putin noted: There are politicians in Europe who do not want the strategic defeat of Russia and are open to dialogue. Russia represents the restoration of full relations with the European Union. Russia does not allow the possibility of a situation similar to the Strait of Hormuz in the Baltic region, but is ready for adequate responses to provocations. Russia proves its readiness to respond to any challenges in the Baltic region. Many countries in Europe are preparing for conflict with Russia by 2030, but Russia, although it is ready for it, wants to avoid war. If EU leaders have not yet succeeded in achieving a strategic defeat of Russia, then they are unlikely to succeed by 2030. A war between Russia and Europe will not lead to victories, and this must be remembered. Russia is learning lessons from the history of World Wars I and II and is making every effort to prevent it from happening again. / Our map.
