Zelenskyy claims that the leaders of Finland and Norway have urged Putin to de-escalate attacks on Ukraine

Following discussions with Alexander Stubb and Jonas Gahr Støre, Zelenskyy stated that they had urged the Russian president to take “concrete de-escalatory steps” regarding Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

However, the official statement from the Finnish president’s office referred only to the need for a de-escalation of the conflict, with no mention of specific demands to limit attacks.

The Kremlin’s statement also made no mention of the subject of halting or limiting attacks.
