Trump envoys push Zelensky to accept Russia's peace terms in Oslo

dw.com (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump's envoys met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo on Tuesday to push a peace deal with Russia largely on Moscow's terms, according to The New York Times. The meeting involved Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and White House son-in-law Jared Kushner, who participated remotely. The NYT reported Trump is increasingly determined to convince Zelensky that holding occupied eastern territories is not worth it, suggesting Ukraine could benefit from accepting an agreement despite its Russian-favored terms. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb also attended the talks. Witkoff is scheduled to travel to St. Petersburg afterward to meet Russian leadership, with the NYT suggesting the trip may involve the release of detained US citizen Stephen Hubbard.
