Norway's prime minister dismissed the Financial Times' interpretation of the conversation with Putin as incorrect. Jonas Gahr Stora stated that he, together with the President of Finland, demanded that the Financial Times issue a correction to the article. According to him, Putin discussed the situation in Europe after 2014, not the history of the ancient Slavs. "We have asked the Financial Times to correct this because it is not true. What he said about Slavic history is simply not true," Stora stated.
