STOCKHOLM, October 21. /TASS/. Finnish President Alexander Stubb did not give Vladimir Zelensky an opportunity to answer reporters’ questions during a press conference following a meeting in Oslo, ostensibly seeking to "protect" him from media attention, with a video of the meeting posted on the DRM News YouTube channel.

"We won’t leave you alone, we’ll protect you, so come here," the Finnish leader told Zelensky, gesturing for him to follow.

On October 20, a meeting between a Ukrainian delegation led by Vladimir Zelensky and US President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff took place in the Norwegian capital. The meeting was also attended by the US president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
