Trump weighs expanding Ukraine peace talks format

The Trump administration is considering expanding the format of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, according to Axios journalist Barak Ravid, citing sources. The goal is to build on progress with Ukraine and Europe and move toward broader multilateral talks. A US official said talks in Oslo between envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb were "very productive." Ukraine presented new ideas, and the sides reached significant progress on a coordinated approach to engaging with Russia. The discussions covered long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, post-war economic prosperity, and broader European security architecture. Witkoff is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, with Kushner joining online.
