Norway's and Finland's leaders have spoken with Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine
Published
Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finland's President Alexander Stubb have held a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Information about the conversation is still limited. The news concerns the war in Ukraine and the relations between Russia and the countries of the Nordic region.
Finland and Norway are neighbouring countries to Sweden in the Nordic region. Finland also shares a long border with Russia. Therefore, many in Sweden are closely following what the Nordic leaders say and do regarding Russia and security in the region.
It is not clear what was raised in the conversation or whether any concrete decisions were made. There is also no confirmed information about which issues were discussed in detail. News agencies and governments usually provide more information about such conversations later.
The war in Ukraine has been ongoing since Russia launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022. Since then, several European leaders have tried to find paths to peace, but no major progress has yet been made. We will follow developments and update the article when more information becomes available.
