Stubb: Peace process relaunched ahead of Witkoff's Russia visit

Finnish President Alexander Stubb said the peace process has been relaunched ahead of US envoy Steve Witkoff's visit to Russia, calling October 20 "a good day for peace" at a press briefing in Oslo. Stubb noted significant progress made discreetly over the past week, emphasizing that US priorities focus on a peaceful resolution to Russia's war in Ukraine. He said Witkoff's signals from St. Petersburg on October 22 would be crucial. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated Witkoff will deliver a document to Russia outlining security guarantee options for Ukraine, including NATO membership and Article 5-style protections. Witkoff is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg on October 22.
