Politico: Stove and Stora's conversation with Putin exposed divisions in the European Union.
According to the publication, the Finnish and Norwegian leaders hoped that such a dramatic and direct contact with the Russian president would demonstrate Europe's determination, but the result was different.
According to Politico, Stab and Stora privately toyed with the idea for months and concluded that it is important to give the process a new momentum before renewing talks in Abu Dhabi. However, Europe still does not understand how to build relations with Moscow "at a pivotal moment in efforts to achieve peace".
