US envoy Witkoff heads to Russia for talks after Oslo meeting

US envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Russia on Wednesday for further talks, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre announced at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Witkoff will visit St. Petersburg to present proposals raised in Oslo to the Russian side. Zelenskyy said Ukraine has "clear ideas on how to reach peace" and suggested a potential trilateral meeting with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, adding "we'll see what Putin says about that." Zelenskyy denied Ukraine is losing the war, saying "we are losing people. And time," while noting "clear positive signals" from the US side. He discussed security guarantees, including NATO's Article 5 and similar arrangements, and confirmed intelligence sharing has resumed, with Witkoff to follow up on Starlink and Patriot systems.
