"I don't understand what they hope to achieve." Danish PM criticized Finland and Norway for calling Putin
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is skeptical of the phone call between Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre with Kremlin head Vladimir Putin.
On this day, Frederiksen is visiting Finland, where Nordic foreign ministers are gathering on October 27-28, writes "European Pravda."
"I am very skeptical about this initiative by Norway and Finland. It was not agreed upon with any of us," commented the Danish Prime Minister on the phone call.
She stressed that she sees "no signs that Russia is striving for peace with Europe."
"Neither considering the hybrid war that continues every day, nor what is happening in Ukraine, where brutal and aggressive attacks are committed daily. I believe we need to maintain European unity, not act separately," Frederiksen added.
She was asked if she expects this call could prolong the process.
— I really don't know what they think they will achieve with this. Previously, we, the rest of the Europeans, also clearly emphasized, when others acted independently and traveled to Moscow, that it is important for us, Europeans, to stick together. Many of us have fought for this all these years," said Mette Frederiksen.
Today, the President of Finland and the Prime Minister of Norway, on their own initiative, held a phone conversation with the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin. According to Stubb, the conversation was "open and businesslike."
After that, Stubb and Støre held a "productive phone call" with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
