> Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said Vladimir Putin outlined the root causes of the Ukraine conflict during Tuesday’s call with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, at their request. Ushakov said those causes dated to 2014 and dismissed a Financial Times report that Putin discussed medieval Slavic history as “complete nonsense.”
