Zelenskyy defends leaders of Finland and Norway over Putin talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has supported Finland's President Alexander Stubb and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre for their outreach to Vladimir Putin, aiming for peace negotiations. During a recent call, they urged Putin to cease hostilities in Ukraine. However, their actions faced backlash from some European leaders who viewed the call as detrimental to the collective European stance against Russia, especially following the invasion that began in February 2022.
