Europe has spoken directly with Putin again. Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre held a phone conversation with the Russian dictator, attempting to discuss possible steps to end the war against Ukraine.
Topics included protection of energy infrastructure, limiting strikes, prisoner exchanges, and food security. However, after an hour and a half of conversation the parties did not come even close to the hint of any constructive dialogue. Putin’s behavior during the call only reinforced doubts about his willingness to reach a real compromise. He devoted a large part of the time to his own interpretation of history and the reasons for the war, while concrete steps to cease fire were relegated to the background.
In an exclusive interview for OBOZ.UA, diplomat Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine Andriy Veselovsky shared his thoughts on these issues.
