The Kremlin can "neither confirm nor deny" reports of Vladimir Putin's plans to hold talks with Finnish President Alexander Staab and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stora. Dmitry Peskov stated this. Bloomberg previously reported, citing sources, that Putin is preparing to hold telephone conversations with Stubbs and Stora to discuss the prospects for resolving the conflict in Ukraine. According to the interlocutors of the agency, the conversation can take place as early as Tuesday. Additional statements by the press secretary of the President of Russia: The date of the new tripartite negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement has not yet been determined. The issue of presenting former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as a candidate for the position of UN Secretary General did not come up during the last conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. There were no reports of violations of the regime of silence that began on the morning of October 27 for the humanitarian operation in Ashki in the Kherson region. RBC channel at max.
