According to the Kremlin, Putin focused on the "confrontational policy" of EU and NATO countries, which, according to him, leads to the prolongation of hostilities. The parties discussed security issues in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe regions, while the Finnish President and the Norwegian Prime Minister reaffirmed the importance of upholding the principles of international maritime law and freedom of navigation. 1TV+1
