Finnish President Alexander Stubb clarified that his recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, was not a peace mediation but a way to convey Ukraine's messages. Stubb emphasized their commitment to Ukraine's interests and stated that the conversation was pre-arranged with Ukrainian and U.S. representatives. He noted that the idea for the call emerged during a meeting in Oslo, where it was deemed necessary to engage directly with Putin due to stalled peace discussions. Ukrainian representative Andrii Sibiga supported the initiative, highlighting the need for new dynamics in peace efforts. Meanwhile, the Kremlin indicated that Putin would only meet Zelenskiy to sign a peace agreement, not for negotiations. Danish and Swedish leaders expressed skepticism about re-engaging with Putin, stressing the need for European unity.
