US officials plan to travel to Norway, Russia for Ukraine talks, sources say
The talks will test a peace proposal built with Ukraine and European allies before Witkoff heads to Russia, officials said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Oslo to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders for peace negotiations, with Jared Kushner participating remotely due to illness.
- Tensions between Kyiv and Washington deteriorated after President Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel and restricted military support, prompting Ukraine to request this diplomatic intervention.
- Zelensky reported "substantive" talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio about Patriot interceptor missile shortages and Starshield satellite restrictions, which Kyiv says have hindered frontline operations.
- Following Oslo discussions, Witkoff plans to travel to Russia to present proposals to President Vladimir Putin and seek the release of American citizen Stephen Hubbard, detained there.
- Norwegian officials aim to steer diplomacy onto a "more constructive path," though skepticism persists given Trump's recent criticism of Zelensky and his waiver of sanctions on Russia.
