‼ Finland and Norway acted as mediators between Kyiv and Moscow. Finnish President Staab admitted that together with the Prime Minister of Norway, Stora conveyed messages from the Ukrainian side to Vladimir Putin, reports Yle. According to Stubb, after the meeting in Oslo there was a feeling that the peace talks might fall apart. However, the participants managed to get the dialogue back on track and create cooperation between the US and Ukraine. "We did not send direct messages from Finland, but messages from Ukraine," explained the Finnish leader. Before the call to Putin, Staub and Stora held consultations with American negotiators. The 90-minute conversation with the Russian president touched on a possible short-term ceasefire, restrictions on attacks on energy and infrastructure, food security and prisoner exchanges. The parties expressed their willingness to continue the talks, but a specific schedule and format for continuing the talks have not yet been agreed upon. Caravans: |.
