- China: Beijing expects all stakeholders in the Ukraine crisis to participate in peace talks aimed at securing a lasting agreement accepted by all sides
What countries have said so far:
- Finland: A ceasefire and security guarantees for Ukraine are the most important topics
- Norway: No negotiations on Ukraine without Ukraine. Important to strengthen the cooperation on security guarantees. Pressure on Russia must increase

At Home exemplifies Lerinโs ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared. One of Swedenโs most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like thisโwhere silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.
