Squabbles have begun in Europe over calls to Putin: Finland and Norway angered their neighbors
According to The Guardian, phone calls from the president of Finland and the prime minister of Norway to Putin have intensified disputes in Europe about who should negotiate with Moscow and whether contacts at the highest level should be resumed.
For example, France supports maintaining a line of communication with Putin, Germany and the United Kingdom view it more cautiously, while the Baltic states and the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas fear that negotiations would weaken pressure on Russia without any concessions from its side.
The publication notes that there is still no unified decision on the appointment of a representative for dialogue with the Kremlin.
Meanwhile, amid expected peace talks in Abu Dhabi next month, European governments fear that decisions about Ukraine's future and the continent's security will be made without their full participation.
