Witkoff to meet Putin after positive Zelenskyy talks in Oslo

US special envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived in St. Petersburg to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, following a reportedly successful meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Oslo. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Witkoff's talks with Zelenskyy were positive and produced no surprises, with Ukraine presenting new ideas for the diplomatic process that were discussed in detail. Witkoff will now share these proposals with the Russian side. The meeting in Oslo was requested by Zelenskyy and hosted by Norway and Finland. Finnish President Alexander Stubb said the situation is significantly better than last week, though US-Ukraine relations have been strained by recent US policy decisions.
