Danish premier questions Norway and Finland's solo talks with Putin

Denmark's prime minister Mette Frederiksen voiced serious doubts over the independent talks held by Norway's Jonas Gahr Støre and Finland's President Alexander Stubb with Russian President Vladimir Putin. She told Danish TV 2 that the meetings were not coordinated with other European nations and that such solo initiatives risk fragmenting a united European stance toward Russia. Frederiksen emphasized that the Nordic states should align with the rest of Europe when dealing with Moscow.

She also stated she sees no signs that Russia desires peace, pointing to the continuous hybrid war and daily aggressive actions in Ukraine that result in many casualties. The Danish leader called for a cohesive European approach rather than isolated diplomatic efforts.
