The Russians have previously rejected proposals for such a summit. (©NTB) Where are the obligations from the Budapest Agreement of 1994? Is it so easy to just forget one's obligations. The USA betrays both morally and commercially. The fact that they want Europe to increase their defense budgets by 5% is only because they want to increase purchases from the USA. We must stop buying such things when there is no ammunition for them when they need it. K Skinnes10:02Støre: Witkoff returns to Oslo after talks with Putin Photo: Jan T. Espedal / AftenpostenStøre: Witkoff returns to Oslo after having talks with Putin The Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says that the US envoy Steve Witkoff returns to Oslo after having talks with Putin in Russia, Støre said on NRK news in the morning. – It is a type of feedback, says Støre about what he expects from the talk with Witkoff. He says that the atmosphere for Tuesday's meeting was professional. – But I think I and President Stubb managed to create an atmosphere that was personal. It was about the issues we were to discuss. – If we want to look ahead now, Europe must take a stronger role. We cannot throw all the cards in the hands of the Americans, said Støre. Støre says that it is now about getting the leaders to meet. Steve Witkoff has landed in St. Petersburg Steve Witkoff has landed in St. PetersburgUS envoy Steve Witkoff has landed in St. Petersburg.

Reuters, which first reported that Witkoff was in St. Petersburg, corrected the report.

In India on Wednesday, Rubio also said that nothing surprising or unexpected came from the talks. I wonder if Ukraine can give up any of its territories in any way? Nothing is said, but it seems to be the only solution for us who read the media. But can Europe even accept a Ukraine that gives up something? What other real alternatives is it really possible to believe Putin accepts? No extra land for what?? But nothing is said. hermansenclaeserikThis was a topic in April last year, when Zelenskyj, following Trump's statements about the possible relinquishment of Ukrainian territories, opened up to discuss this. The Ukrainian president was also clear that a ceasefire was necessary before it would be possible to arrange what is necessary to carry out, for example, a referendum on relinquishing territory. This is again something that creates problems, since many of those living in occupied areas do not want to have the opportunity to participate in such a referendum, as they live under Russia's authoritarian occupation regime. Law professor Geir Ulfstein has previously written in Aftenposten that even if Ukraine were to agree to relinquish territory to Russia, it would still be a violation of international law and not legally binding under international law. He therefore argues that the areas would still continue to be considered illegally occupied by the world community.

Witkoff knows nothing and knows nothing about diplomacy. The missions of Trump are just trying to enrich Trump and themselves. Why are we still doing this play? Does it give Ukraine anything at all?

The US envoy Steve Witkoff was part of the talks with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and Volodymyr Zelenskyj in the government's reception residence in Oslo. But after the meeting, only Støre, Zelenskyj, and Stubb held a press conference. – This is a press conference for political leaders, I think that is the answer, said Støre. The question was asked after she wondered if Europe can negotiate with Russia without the USA, and if Europe is ready to lead the negotiations. Witkoff has very limited political and diplomatic experience and has a background as a real estate developer.

According to Budanov, who participates in the negotiations, the Ukrainians are trying to get Trump's peace broker, Steve Witkoff, to understand that the situation on the front is quite different from what Trump and Putin seem to believe. – At this critical time, it is essential that all parties give a realistic picture of the situation, wrote Budanov. He accused Russian generals of deliberately misleading Putin by giving in How can't you see the plane on flightradar EspenThere is some variation in what kind of data is publicly available in the open versions of the various flight tracking systems. This may be because the actors themselves have asked for the information to be concealed for security reasons. Sometimes the lack of information is due to the fact that the crew on the plane has turned off the transponder (ADS-B) and the services are not receiving the data. Regardless: I see that the Ukrainian presidential plane (UR-ABA) can be tracked on AirNav Radar. Zelenskyj arrived with the Ukrainian presidential plane, an Airbus A319.

The Russian wave of attacks hits civilians while Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyj is in Norway on Tuesday to secure more European and American support in the fight against the Russian invasion force. Three people were killed and four wounded in a drone attack in Chuban, according to the Ukrainian prosecution. At the same time, authorities in eastern Ukraine report that three civilians have been killed near Kramatorsk, which is on the front line. Previously Tuesday, Ukrainian authorities said that at least three people were killed and six wounded in a Russian air attack in the Obukhiv district near Kyiv. In addition, a woman was killed and 21 wounded, including eight children, in attacks in the Chuban district outside of Kyiv, according to the police. Why does Zelenskyj meet King Haakon at the Palace? Børre Angelstad-GrændsenIt is not unusual for heads of state or government to meet Norwegian royalty for so-called audience during their visit to Norway. Zelenskyj has previously met King Harald at a similar meeting during his visit to Norway. The word "audience" comes from the Latin word "to hear" and means "opportunity to be heard," and it is an area where visitors can get the opportunity to speak with royalty about matters that are particularly important to them.
