In addition, the leader explained the necessity of the call.
“Prime Minister Støre and I felt it was important for border states, such as Finland and Norway, to clarify issues that could lead to misunderstandings. And also to deliver direct messages to the President of the Russian Federation from the perspective of the Northern European countries, in particular Finland and Norway,” he said.
Stubb added that Finland and Norway will continue to support Ukraine and work toward achieving a lasting and just peace.
“A path has now been cleared for a meeting involving the United States, Ukraine, Russia, and European countries, which will take place in Abu Dhabi in November,” Stubb added.
