Yuri Ushkov called the reports of Vladimir Putin's "history lesson" to European leaders disinformative. An aide to the president of the Russian Federation supported Norway's demand to correct the publication of the British Financial Times about Vladimir Putin's telephone conversation with the leaders of Finland and Norway. According to the FT, the Russian leader devoted a significant part of the conversation to medieval Slavic history. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stora called the publication incorrect, but the publication refused to make changes. "It's kind of made up information. Or rather, it's not information - disinformation. It was not discussed at all. And the Prime Minister of Norway is right here," Yuri Ushkov said. The Kremlin said that during the conversation on October 27, Putin outlined the Russian position regarding the conflict in Ukraine and emphasized that long-term peace is only possible if Russia's legitimate interests are taken into account.
