Kushner delivers blunt message to Zelenskyj in Oslo
Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, participating digitally, delivered a direct message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj during Oslo meetings, reiterating Trump's demand that Ukraine stop attacks on Russian oil refineries. Kushner, part of Trump's negotiation team, was reportedly "very direct" in repeating the demand, a source told Axios. Zelenskyj reiterated that Ukraine will halt the attacks only if Russia simultaneously stops strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff attended the Oslo meetings in person and will next travel to St. Petersburg to present an updated peace proposal to President Vladimir Putin. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia will listen but make no political concessions.
