Mikä yhteinen Suomi-Venäjä agenda?! Lähde CNN

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir discussed the Ukraine war with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö.

According to the Kremlin, Putin “explained in detail the reasons for the Russian special military operation to protect Donbas, its goals and objectives, and also informed Niinistö of the ongoing negotiations with Ukrainian representatives.

“The Presidents paid special attention to humanitarian issues and the measures taken to ensure the safety of the civilian population, the organization of evacuation corridors for the evacuation of civilians from the clashes zone,” the Kremlin said.
Niinistö, meanwhile, told Putin that an immediate ceasefire is needed to safely evacuate civilians through evacuation corridors in Ukraine.

During the hour-long conversation, Niinistö warned that the “worsening catastrophe and the deep human suffering in Ukraine,” is strongly influencing western public opinion, according to Finland’s presidential office.

“In addition, President Niinistö drew attention on the safety and security of the nuclear energy facilities in Ukraine,” the office said.

Niinistö also relayed the Ukrainian President’s preparedness to talk directly with Putin following a conversation he had earlier Friday with Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Finnish president has been referred to as the "Putin Whisperer" by western media because of the neutral relationship he has maintained with Russia while sharing a border.

The leaders agreed to remain in touch on Ukraine and the “Russian-Finnish agenda.”
