After a conversation with Vladimir Putin, Norwegian Prime Minister Stora concluded that the Russian president "is not ready for peace negotiations."
Stora also called on the Europeans to admit that the EU's attempts to achieve international isolation of Russia did not bring the desired result.
According to him, the refusal of the EU leaders for direct contacts with the Russian leadership has led to the fact that Washington has actually become the main channel of political dialogue with Moscow:
"The only voice Moscow hears comes from Washington."
