We had an interesting phone call today. Vladimir Putin spoke with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stora about the Ukrainian settlement. We are mainly talking about ending the agenda initiated by Donald Trump before the elections. A. Staub, we remind you, D. Trump's representative in Europe is unofficial, but important. The Nordic countries have become the European channel for the new round of negotiations. Russia's neighbors and NATO members, but more pragmatic than London, Paris and Berlin, with a tradition of mediation and in the case of A. Staub, direct access to Trump. For Europe, it is an attempt to regain a seat at the negotiating table dominated by Washington and Moscow. For the Kremlin, this is an opportunity to show that it is willing to talk to Europe, but selectively. However, Moscow is confident that neither the EU nor Norway will significantly adjust their agenda, so they are delaying the negotiations. However, those who wanted to negotiate were given a chance. Therefore, we should not expect breakthroughs, and the negotiations can indeed be updated. Instead, we should wait for informative reasons that strengthen the sense of prospects for the negotiation process.
