Ukraine-Krieg: Gespräche in Oslo: Selenskyj trifft US-Gesandten Witkoff

In a diplomatic bid to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj met virtually with US Ambassador Steve Witkoff in Oslo today. The talks were also attended by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Støre stated that the goal was to refocus diplomatic efforts towards more constructive paths.

Sources cited by the "Axios" portal reported that Selenskyj expressed frustration to Axios that the US was withholding weapons deliveries in response to Ukraine's lack of reciprocation. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly denied approving the shipment of Patriot and other air defense missiles, despite NATO countries having already paid for them.

A senior ministry official denied this account, writing on X that he had a "constructive conversation" with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, expressing gratitude for Rubio's willingness to help and clear stance.
