Kremlin: Olshki's humanitarian operation is taking place as part of a program mediated by the US. The Kremlin stated that no reports were received of violations of agreements related to the operation. It said that Putin's talks with Finnish President Staab and Norwegian Prime Minister Stora were substantive and did not mean that Finland would negotiate on behalf of Europe. Europe is not yet taking part in the negotiations in Ukraine, although dialogue with several European countries is seen as a positive development. Moscow also said that Stubbs' position on dialogue with Russia had changed and that it appreciated that.
