1940 Chronology: 29 January 1940

Finland: Secret negotiations had been taking place in Stockholm on the initiative of the Russians to try to reach a diplomatic solution to the conflict. As a result of these talks, the USSR sends the Swedish government a note saying: "The Soviet Union has no object in principle to a possible agreement with the Ryti government" (the legitimate government of Finland.) This declaration opens the way to peace, since the USSR is implicity saying that it is ready to renounce support of Kuusinen's puppet government.
