TREE NEWS update: US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Oslo on Thursday, with leaders from Norway and Finland also taking part and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner joining by video. The talks aim to draft a peace proposal that can be presented to Russia, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Zelenskiy said at a joint news conference.
Trump envoy Witkoff meets Zelenskiy in Oslo on Ukraine peace plan
The notable detail is the format: a US envoy, a Ukrainian president and Nordic leaders convening in Oslo, with Kushner joining remotely, suggests Washington is building a coalition around a draft before any direct engagement with Moscow. Norway and Finland's presence matters because both sit on Russia's northern flank and have distinct security stakes in any settlement's terms. Whether the proposal that emerges is one Ukraine can present as its own, rather than a US-framed document, is the open question worth watching.
