0:40Stubb says he and Norway's prime minister held a lengthy phone call with Putin that morning.
1:03The call followed the Oslo meeting, was coordinated with Ukraine and preceded a briefing to Zelenskyy.
2:00Stubb points to diplomatic openings ahead of international discussions scheduled for November in Abu Dhabi.
5:33He condemns Russia's war against Ukraine and praises Denmark and Greenland's agreements with the United States.
8:45He urges closer Nordic defense coordination through NORDEFCO, NATO and the Joint Expeditionary Force.
11:15He advocates joint investment in critical infrastructure, telecommunications, quantum technology and space technology.

The conversation lasted an hour and a half. Addressing the Nordic Council in Helsinki, Finnish President Alexander Stubb disclosed that he and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre had spoken with Vladimir Putin that morning.

Stubb said the call followed a meeting in Oslo and had been coordinated with Ukraine. A briefing to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was to follow. He described the exchange with Putin as "professional and direct," and pointed to diplomatic paths opening toward international discussions scheduled for November in Abu Dhabi.

Those details arrive near the beginning of DWS News' recording, rather than at the end of the keynote. The speech drew about 67,000 views in its first 15 hours, an unusually strong start for a regular upload on the channel.

After the opening disclosure in English, Stubb returns to Swedish and broadens his argument: Nordic countries should respond to global uncertainty by working more closely together. He condemns Russia's war against Ukraine and calls for deeper defense coordination through NATO, the Nordic defense cooperation framework NORDEFCO and the Joint Expeditionary Force.

His proposals extend beyond military cooperation. Later in the address, Stubb advocates shared investment in critical infrastructure, telecommunications, quantum technology and space technology, making regional resilience a practical question of what the Nordic countries build together.
