Norway's prime minister refutes the Financial Times' report that Putin lectured them on medieval Slavic history for almost their entire phone call with the Finnish president, TV2 reports. "That's not true. And we've asked the Financial Times to correct that information, because it's not true," Stra said. According to him, Putin asked for an opportunity to present his version of the current situation and in this context he analyzed the events from 2014 until today. "So the claim that he was talking about Slavic history is simply not true," Storr said. At first it was assumed that the conversation would last less than half an hour, but in the end it lasted about 90 minutes.
