Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met Steve Witkoff, the U.S. president's envoy, in Oslo. The talks focused on international efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Reducing tensions between Kyiv and Washington was another central objective. Zelensky's accompanying message was blunt: "Let's see what Putin will say." The remark suggested that Russia's reaction would shape the next stage of the talks. No ceasefire formula or date for another round was announced.
