As I suggested, the EU was a bit taken aback by Stubbs and Stora's initiative. Neighboring Denmark was the first to vote. Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen said the call to Putin was not matched in Europe: "Honestly, I don't know what these two countries expect to achieve with this. In the past - along with the rest of Europe - we were very clear: when someone acts alone, for example going to Moscow, it is important that we Europeans maintain unity." It seems that they have two competitions at the same time: one - who will be the first to call Putin, the second - who will be the first to condemn it. In their minds, von der Leyen and Callas should have grunted something unintelligible, but Frederiksen was the first to do so. A new candidate for the position of chief foreign policy spokesman? It's getting hot... SHATROV.
