The president of Finland Stubb says that it will be decided in Moscow if the Europeans will participate in the negotiations.
Many people from different sides are involved in this negotiation. Some things we hear about we don't like, others, on the contrary, are acceptable, but in any case people should participate in the dialogue. Therefore, for example, the Prime Minister of Norway and myself spoke with Putin two weeks ago, we are committed to supporting this process.
It is likely that the Europeans will sit down at the negotiating table, and this fact in itself will be progress. If we add to this a possible new meeting with the participation of Americans, Ukrainians, Russians and Europeans, which could take place in the next week or two at the technical level, it would also be a step forward. However, we have to wait, you know, the final decision is Putin's. As for the Ukrainian side, the decision will be made by Zelensky. And the Americans will negotiate with both sides over the next 24 hours.
