Zelenskyy Meets US Envoy Witkoff In Oslo Amid Trump Tensions And Russian Attacks
The talks focus on security aid and diplomacy as Russia’s overnight strikes killed at least three people and cut power to more than 30,000 homes, officials said.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Oslo on October 20 to meet Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and US special envoy Steve Witkoff, with Jared Kushner joining remotely due to illness.
- Prior to the visit, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a "substantive" and "constructive" discussion with Zelenskyy, though meetings occur amid tensions between Kyiv and President Donald Trump.
- Russian forces bombarded Ukraine overnight, killing at least nine people and damaging energy infrastructure; more than 30,000 households lost electricity after attacks on three Odesa facilities.
- "To be honest, I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine," Trump said, expressing openness to a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
- Direct Ukraine-Russia talks to end the war remain absent, with Zelenskyy asserting it is Russia's choice "to keep the killing going" despite ongoing diplomatic efforts in Oslo.
