Jared Kushner, son-in-law and special envoy of US President Donald Trump, reiterated Trump's demand that Ukraine stop strikes on Russian oil refineries during remote talks in Oslo on October 20, according to Axios. Kushner joined the meeting virtually and insisted on the demand, with a source saying he "spoke very directly." After the meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated he was ready to halt such strikes if Moscow took reciprocal steps.
