Kuleba: US sidelines 'Eurotroika' in Ukraine talks, betting on Scandinavians

The United States is attempting to sideline the 'Eurotroika' — the United Kingdom, Germany and France — from the negotiation track regarding Ukraine. Instead, according to former Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Washington is actively engaging Norway and Finland in these processes.

The role of Scandinavian countries in ending the war

Kuleba noted that Norway could become a key factor influencing Ukraine during the end of the war. This is linked to the fact that the country's Prime Minister recently held direct negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

«Президент Фінляндії та прем’єр-міністр Норвегії поговорили з Путіним. Тобто тестують інших людей, від яких очікують більшої поступливості. Фінляндія тут цікавить нас менше, а ось Норвегія для України — ключовий гравець, один із найбільших донорів. А той, хто дає гроші, має і важелі впливу. Подивимося, чим це закінчиться», — заявив Кулеба. (The President of Finland and the Prime Minister of Norway have spoken to Putin. In other words, they are testing other people from whom greater compliance is expected. Finland interests us less here, but Norway is a key player for Ukraine, one of the largest donors. And those who provide money have levers of influence. Let's see how this ends, Kuleba stated.)
