Stubb discussed war and peace efforts with Russian President Putin
Published
President of the Republic Alexander Stubb spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The call was initiated by Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Støre. The occasion covered Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
The discussion also addressed diplomatic measures to end the war. The parties talked about how peace could be promoted. According to the news source, the purpose of the call was to explore ways in which the war could be reduced and possibly brought to an end.
Ending the war is an important matter for Finland, because Finland is Russia's neighbouring country. The border between Finland and Russia is long, and the security situation in the Baltic Sea region has followed the development of the war closely. Therefore, the Finnish leadership's contacts with Russia also arouse interest among Finns.
At this stage, there is no information yet on whether the call will lead to concrete negotiations or agreements. The matter is still being followed, and further information is expected in the coming days.
