White House envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived in Oslo, Norway, to participate in high-level diplomatic meetings aimed at establishing a framework for peace in Ukraine. The summit includes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, and representatives from the E4 nations—the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Poland. Officials from the European Union and NATO are also in attendance to help shape a unified proposal that can be presented to the Russian government.

The primary objective of the Oslo gathering is to align the interests of Ukraine and its Western allies before formal negotiations with Moscow begin. While the specific details of the peace proposal remain under development, the presence of major European powers and NATO officials suggests an effort to ensure that any future deal has broad international backing. Following the conclusion of the Oslo meetings, Witkoff is scheduled to travel to Russia to engage with officials there, marking a significant step in the U.S.-led effort to de-escalate the conflict. While the current reports confirm the itinerary and the participants, the specific terms or concessions that may be discussed in Russia have not yet been disclosed by the White House or the participating European delegations.
