Norwegian Prime Minister Stora explains why he called Putin.
"We have to tell him that we support Ukraine," Stora said, calling the idea that Europe would stop talking to Moscow an illusion. He acknowledged that Putin is not isolated, noting that their reading agreed on principles and clarified Russian arguments.
Stora stated that the talks in Abu Dhabi are only a first step, with future discussions expected soon. However, he insisted that any questions regarding the European security architecture must be resolved only after the end of the war.
He rejected Russia's ongoing demands about where NATO could be based, stating: "It is not within Russia's jurisdiction. ".
