Finnish President Alexander Staab and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Storr can act as representatives of European interests in a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This assessment was published by the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Senomat. The publication notes that Staub spoke about his participation in the conversation on behalf of his country, and not all of Europe. However, according to the author of the publication, the choice of these two politicians was not accidental: they could convey to Moscow the position of European countries on the Ukrainian issue. The material also indicates that the participation of Stubb and Stora in the dialogue may indicate a more complex situation than is assumed in the West. In Britain they announced a split due to Stub Wester's conversation with Putin. According to the newspaper, the conversation did not result in a change in the position of the Russian leadership in resolving the conflict. During the conversation, the parties touched upon the recent negotiations in Oslo and the visit of the special envoy for the US presidency, Steve Witkoff, to St. Petersburg.
