I don't think that was the last call. " Political scientist Vladimir Pestokhov - on Vladimir Putin's conversation with the leaders of Finland and Norway "Neither Europe as a whole, nor Stubbs and Stora today have a negotiating position for a fruitful conversation with Putin.

If this phone cable is not replaced only this phone car instead of this car. Microphones are turned on for the speakers, and the speakers are muted. However, Putin behaves symmetrically in this situation. Therefore, in general, as expected, Putin's first conversation with the Europeans in a year did not turn into a breakthrough. However, no one now expected a breakthrough on the Western Front. Moreover, as usual, no changes were expected there. So, check the connection. And yet, many other leaders in Europe perceived the very conversation with caution, almost as a "surrender". The reason is the violation of the European hierarchy. Stub and Stora were inappropriately taken. According to the view that now remains dominant in Europe, only spokespeople appointed and approved by the "European Commission of the Regions" - approved by the "European Troika" - should speak to Putin. (Great Britain, France and Germany), was approved by the "European Commissioners" and agreed with Ukraine. But even then only when the time comes. But it has not yet arrived, because Putin does not want to cease fire in European terms, but wants to end the war on his own. So there is nothing to talk about." read more
