vg.no (Swedish) —

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre expressed cautious optimism about ending the war in Ukraine after discussing the conflict with both Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyj during the UN high-level week in New York. He believes a conclusion to the war is closer. Støre stated that progress requires sustained US engagement, noting he spoke with Trump at length about bringing Russia to the negotiating table. Zelenskyj said Ukraine is ready for a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, awaiting Russia's response, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed interest from both sides in a limited ceasefire on grain and energy. Støre acknowledged wars often end at the front line but stressed Ukraine will not legally accept losing territory it currently controls. He also met Iran's president regarding Middle East tensions, and noted Trump has invited Putin to the G20 summit in Miami.
