Expert: Finland and Norway acted at Ukraine's request, did not reopen relations with Moscow
Published
Finland and Norway acted at Ukraine's request. So says foreign and security policy expert Henri, who responded to critics who have criticised the phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to the expert, the matter does not concern reopening bilateral relations with Moscow. In his view, the critics may not be aware of the full situation. He stresses that Ukraine was the party that asked for action.
The expert reminds that in public debate, important background information often remains invisible. For this reason, decisions are best assessed in their full context. He did not offer an assessment of whether all the measures were correct.
The case shows how sensitive the position of Finland and Norway is during the war between Russia and Ukraine. As a neighbouring country, Finland follows the situation closely, and foreign policy decisions often generate a great deal of discussion. Further information on the progress of the matter is expected.
