Alexander Stubb and Jonas Gahr Støre say they have briefed Volodymyr Zelenskyy after discussion with Russia’s president about next month’s Abu Dhabi peace talks
But not everyone seems to be particularly convinced by the joint Finnish-Norwegian initiative.
Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen told the country’s broadcaster DR that she was “very sceptical” about this “independent initiative by Norway and Finland,” stressing “it has not been coordinated with the rest of us.”
“I see no signs that Russia desires peace with Europe – neither in the hybrid warfare taking place every single day, nor in Ukraine, where they are launching fierce and aggressive attacks on a daily basis.
I believe we should keep Europe united, rather than going it alone.”
