Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for an hour and a half, despite the conversation originally being planned to last 20 minutes. NRK reports.
Støre rejects criticism from Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who described the conversation as a solo move. He emphasizes that Norway represents only itself, but that all allies were informed in advance. He also points out that over four years, the EU has failed to agree on a joint message or approach.
