Zelenskyy and Witkoff meet in Oslo over Patriot missiles and ceasefire terms

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US envoy Steve Witkoff have begun talks in Oslo on Tuesday, with Kyiv expected to push for Patriot missiles while Washington reportedly demands a pause on Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure. The meeting started just before 4 PM at the Grand Hotel, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb also present. Witkoff's colleague Jared Kushner joined via link due to a cold. Ukraine seeks to influence US proposals to Moscow and secure military support during ongoing diplomatic talks. Zelenskyy has indicated Ukraine could pause energy infrastructure attacks if the US delivers more Patriot missiles, as Kyiv faces shortages after intensified Russian strikes. US media report Washington may lack available Patriots following the war in Iran. Zelenskyy also met King Haakon earlier, discussing kidnapped Ukrainian children placed in Russian re-education camps.
