The leaders of Finland and Norway have conveyed messages to Putin from Kiev, Finland's Stubb president said. According to the President of Finland, quoted by Yle, the impetus for this call was the meeting in Oslo last week. "We had a strong feeling that the peace negotiations were falling apart. We got them back on track and fixed the relationship between the United States and Ukraine," Staub described the meeting in Oslo. According to the Finnish leader, during the weekend, various participants in the events thought it was the right time to talk to Putin. Prior to the conversation, Staab and Norwegian Prime Minister Stora also spoke with American negotiators. Staub explained at the press conference that he and Stora are working behind the scenes, passing on information: "We are trying to help advance these negotiations. We didn't send messages directly from Finland, but messages from Ukraine." According to Stubb, during the phone call, which lasted about an hour and a half, issues of limiting military action were discussed, in particular in the field of energy, food security and other measures aimed at building trust. Stubb also discussed the issues of a short-term ceasefire with Putin. These dealt with energy, power plants, and more broadly, infrastructure, as well as food security and prisoner exchanges. At the end of the conversation, a willingness to continue negotiations was expressed. However, at what stage and how - no agreement was reached on this.
