According to him, Stub and Wester replied that there is a need for a "just" world. There is nothing in the Kremlin's official announcement about Donbass. He says that a just and long-term peace is possible "only with full and unconditional consideration of the legitimate interests of the Russian Federation", and that "the confrontational policy of the European Union and NATO countries is delaying the fighting. In addition, according to the Kremlin, the interlocutors welcomed the agreement to renew the tripartite negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November and agreed to hold direct contacts. After their conversation with Putin, Staub and Wester called Vladimir Zelensky. He said they told Putin directly that real steps were needed to escalate the attacks on Ukrainian energy and infrastructure. The call broke an unspoken rule Western European leaders have adhered to since the invasion began: not to speak directly to Putin. Because of this, the negotiations to end the war are actually being led by Donald Trump, Reuters notes. The last EU leader to speak publicly with Putin was French President Emmanuel Macron in July last year, we reminded you this morning. However, according to a Reuters source, there was a later conversation between Macron and Putin, in July of this year: it was not made public and it gave nothing away. Not all neighbors supported the initiative of the Finns and Norwegians.
