😡 Putin during a conversation with Stubb and Støre "lectured" about the history of the Slavs, rather than discussing peace in Ukraine, - FT
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin during a phone call with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre 27 October spent most of the time talking about medieval Slavic history, rather than the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine.
This is reported by the Financial Times, citing three informed interlocutors.
According to the publication, this was Putin's first conversation with any of Ukraine's European allies since July last year, when he spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The call was initially planned for less than half an hour, but it lasted 90 minutes, Stubb told Finnish media.
According to three FT interlocutors, instead of discussing key issues to end the war, Putin "delivered" a long speech to the Nordic leaders about what the Kremlin calls the "root causes of the conflict." The question of an immediate ceasefire, which is Ukraine's main demand, was barely discussed, they added.
One interlocutor said that the Nordic leaders decided not to interrupt Putin in order to understand how serious he was about dialogue with Europe.
