Trump Envoy Witkoff to Meet Putin in St. Petersburg for Ukraine War Talks
The envoy is seeking broader negotiations as US officials say Ukraine brought new ideas and made meaningful progress in Oslo talks.
- On Wednesday, US special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to advance proposals to end the war in Ukraine and create a pathway to broader negotiations.
- Witkoff carried new peace proposals to Russia after holding "constructive" talks in Oslo on Tuesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where participants confirmed "meaningful progress" toward a coordinated approach.
- Discussions covered long-term security guarantees and a post-war economic plan, while Zelensky confirmed that Patriot interceptor supplies and Starlink access are "back on track" following talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- During a Tuesday Oval Office event, President Donald Trump increased pressure on Zelensky, warning that if Ukraine does not settle, "I think it's going to be a very bad thing," Trump said.
- While negotiations are the main focus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed skepticism, stating he does not expect any "miracle" from Washington, as Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov noted Ukraine remains the primary agenda item.
