Stubb said in a statement on his conversation with Putin: “The discussion was frank and substantive. We are neighbouring countries to Russia. The outcome of this war will have a direct impact on our and broader European security. Ending the war requires direct discussions.”
Stubb and Stoere participated in the call as leaders of their respective countries and did not speak on behalf of Europe as a whole, they said, adding that the two Nordic nations will continue their longstanding support for Ukraine.
Maybe it’s not big news, but it’s interesting. Apparently this phone call related to upcoming peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi in the next couple of weeks, which will involve negotiators from Ukraine, Russia, and the US.


You don’t get tired of performattive useless repetitive comments? That’s nice.
I recognize that everyone has “boring” feelings sometimes, and when I get annoyed by expressions of them, I just ignore it, instead of rejecting it. It is nice.
Isn’t the downvote button for comments that add nothing to the conversation. I don’t have to do anything either way but I can downvote anything. That’s part of it.
Yeah, you’re not breaking any rules afaik, it just feels hostile to me. I don’t think there’s a defined and universal purpose for a downvote on the fediverse (though it was for things that don’t contribute on reddit, so that carried over for a lot of people).
Just tired of bullshit man I don’t know what to tell you.
It happens to all of us. I hope you have as bullshit-free a day/night as possible.
