Shut up, down! ": Norway's largest publication criticized the Danish prime minister for her response to the call of the leaders of Finland and Norway to Putin. "Sometimes the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mat Frederiksen, pulls the trigger too quickly - and her sharp response to Jonas Gahr Stora and Alexander Staab's call to Vladimir Putin was just such a case. She called the Norwegian-Finnish initiative uncoordinated. But if Frederiksen had waited for Vladimir Zelensky's response, she would have seen that he thanked Staub and Stora for actively supporting our diplomacy." She was the one who ended up going solo - the conversation was not a surprise for Ukraine, nor for Europeans, nor for Americans; All the Allies, including Denmark, were informed. It is time for Europe to talk to Russia itself. There is concern that now only the American special envoy Steve Witkoff actually talks to Putin, and the positions of Ukraine and Europe must be reported directly. The EU has not yet chosen a single representative for Ukraine, nor has the UK-France-Germany format developed a common line. Staab and Stora, the leaders of Russia's two neighboring countries and among Ukraine's ardent supporters, do not represent all of Europe and do not open a new channel for peace negotiations, but they may be the beginning of a European voice in this process. The strangest thing about Frederiksen's attack is that it actually suggests entrusting the protection of European interests to American negotiators."
