During the conversation, Putin outlined Russia’s assessment of the situation in the Ukraine conflict zone, emphasizing its underlying causes. The leaders also discussed Putin’s meetings with US envoy Steve Witkoff, as well as Stubb’s and Støre’s meetings with Witkoff and Vladimir Zelensky. Stubb and Støre met Witkoff and Vladimir Zelensky in Oslo last week, a day before the US envoy held talks with Putin in St. Petersburg. Following those talks, the Kremlin announced that Russia was ready to resume US-mediated peace negotiations with Ukraine in November, potentially ending a pause in direct talks that began in February.
