Bloomberg: The Prime Minister of Norway met with the representative of the Russian Federation in the summer of 2026, Stora met in Oslo with a former senior Russian official, writes Bloomberg, citing a source. According to the agency, the Russian representative at the meeting said that Europe should talk to Vladimir Putin, and not issue ultimatums. As the publication notes, this has become part of Stora and Staub's "back office work" aimed at paving the way for major European countries to participate in the negotiations on Ukraine. The leaders of Norway and Finland share twenty years of friendship and rich experience in working together. In light of the crisis in France, the strengthening of the extreme right in Germany, frequent changes of prime ministers in Britain and the deterioration of Trump's relations with Maloney, Staub and Stura may be "one of the realistic options" for dialogue with Moscow, the publication said.
