U.S. Envoy Witkoff Expected to Meet Zelenskyy Before Planned Putin Talks

The Norwegian government said U.S. envoys would meet Zelenskyy in Norway alongside the leaders of Norway and Finland. Al Jazeera also identified the Norwegian and Finnish prime ministers as participants in the Oslo discussions. The supplied reports place the meetings in Oslo and Moscow rather than Washington, D.C.

Witkoff’s planned sequence would take him from talks with Zelenskyy to a possible meeting with Putin. The Moscow discussions are described as expected or planned, rather than as having taken place. The available evidence does not specify the exact date, full list of participants or agenda for that meeting.

The initiative comes amid significant tensions between Washington and Kyiv. Reporting has described a deepening rift as the administration of President Donald Trump presses for progress toward an end to the war and Zelenskyy prepares to meet U.S. representatives.

According to Euronews and ABC Australia Sport, areas of disagreement have included intelligence-sharing and weapons support. Euronews also reported disputes involving satellite communications, delays in Patriot missile deliveries and U.S. pressure over Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. These details were reported by the cited outlets and are not presented as independently established here.

The reports establish a diplomatic effort involving Kyiv and Moscow, but not its outcome. They do not report a concluded peace agreement or a concrete proposal, while the White House’s official confirmation of the reported itinerary remains among the unresolved points in the supplied evidence.
