Reuters. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who arrived in Oslo on Tuesday (October 20) to meet US special envoy Steve Witkoff, met Norway’s King Haakon at the Royal Palace.
Zelenskiy arrived in Oslo earlier in the day to try to repair ties with Washington that have deteriorated this month as President Donald Trump has courted Moscow.
Trump, who has waived sanctions on Russia in what he says is an effort to lower US fuel prices, has repeatedly rebuked Zelenskiy. Kyiv says Washington has lately failed to provide early warning notification of Russian missile launches, and has throttled SpaceX satellite links that guide Ukrainian drones.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said the goal of hosting Tuesday’s meetings was “to steer the diplomatic efforts onto a more constructive path”.
Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said he would attend meetings with Zelenskiy and Stoere to discuss “Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine and the overall security situation in Europe.”
Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner would attend meetings virtually, Norway said. Witkoff and Kushner have led US negotiating efforts.
Zelenskiy, Stubb and Stoere will hold a press conference later on Tuesday, Norway said.
