Trump pressures Ukraine to reach deal with Russia after Oslo talks
Following talks in Oslo, US President Donald Trump is increasing pressure on Ukraine to reach an agreement with Russia, while a US envoy prepares to travel to Russia for peace talks. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb said progress was made in Tuesday's meetings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy supported a US proposal for an energy ceasefire, but said Russia continued attacks. Trump stated it is time for Ukraine to end the war, claiming the US has received nothing in return for its support. Zelenskyy thanked Norway for hosting the talks and said he is ready for a joint summit with Putin and Trump. US envoy Steve Witkoff will meet Putin in St. Petersburg on Wednesday. Experts noted a lack of substantive details on what will be discussed with Russia.
