Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US special envoy Steve Witkoff were due to join European leaders and officials in Oslo on Tuesday for talks aimed at developing a peace proposal to present to Russia.
The meeting, hosted by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, was also expected to include representatives from Britain, France, Germany and Poland, along with EU and NATO officials. Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, was due to participate remotely. Støre said Ukraine had requested the involvement of the two US envoys and described the meeting as an effort to put diplomacy on “a more constructive path.”
After the Oslo discussions, Witkoff plans to travel to Moscow, where he hopes to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and present ideas developed with Ukraine and European partners, according to reports cited by Ukrainian Pravda and Euronews. The Moscow talks are also expected to include efforts to secure the release of Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old American imprisoned by Russia on allegations that he fought as a mercenary for Ukraine.
The diplomatic push comes amid strains between Kyiv and Washington over reported US pressure to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and delays involving Patriot air-defense missiles. Zelenskyy said he had proposed suspending those strikes in exchange for additional Patriot interceptors.
