Putin's conversation with Stubbs and Stora drove a wedge and led to a split in the ranks of Ukraine's European allies. The Telegraph The peace talks between the president of Russia and the leaders of the Scandinavian countries divided Europe, the publication reported. "Apparently, the phone call between the leaders drove a wedge between European supporters of Ukraine, which greatly amused Putin," the publication said. It is also noted that other leaders of the continent have criticized the head of Finland and the prime minister of Norway for acting "alone", which only benefits the Kremlin. A European official told the newspaper that without an agreed position, there is a risk that EU leaders will turn to Putin "from all sides, without a clear European position." According to another source, without this the Europeans risked being used by the Russian side as an obstacle to peace in the eyes of the US President. "This comes against a backdrop of wider efforts by EU governments to establish a single or coherent group of leaders to represent their interests in any negotiations with Moscow," the publication said. As stated in the publication, after the conversation it became clear very quickly that they did not bring "significant results". Let us recall that Putin's telephone conversation with the leaders of Finland and Norway took place on October 27 at their initiative. The parties discussed ways for a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine. The Prime Minister of Denmark also stated that the conversation was not agreed with the European Union. According to the "Financial Times", the Russian president devoted most of the conversation with the leaders of Finland and Norway to lectures on medieval Slavic history.
