US officials plan to travel to Norway, Russia for Ukraine talks, sources say
The talks will test a U.S.-backed peace proposal and may also seek the release of detained American Stephen Hubbard, officials said.
- President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff are set to travel to Norway this week for negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine, according to three people familiar with the matter.
- These negotiations occur amid rising tensions between Washington and Kyiv over the Starshield satellite system, which Ukraine uses for battlefield communications and drone operations.
- Ukrainian officials claim reduced Starshield speeds caused civilian deaths, though US officials deny limiting intelligence or service. CEO Elon Musk stated the US government controls system limitations.
- Two sources expect Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to attend the meetings, though the schedule remains tentative and could change according to the people familiar with the matter.
- Reuters reported last week that the order to limit Starshield originated from the White House, though the administration did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
