Direct negotiations with Vladimir Putin have resumed after a year, but discussions remain stalled due to Russia's territorial demands regarding Ukraine. During a call with Finnish and Norwegian leaders, Putin reiterated his insistence on Ukraine ceding the Donbas region. The Kremlin accused NATO and the EU of prolonging the conflict by supporting Ukraine. Despite Russia controlling about 80% of Donbas, recent analyses indicate a significant slowdown in Russian advances. Additionally, a potential direct meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky is suggested, but only after negotiations conclude. Zelensky expressed gratitude to Nordic leaders for their diplomatic support.
