Special envoy of U.S. President Donald Trump Steve Vitkoff will propose that the illegitimate president of the aggressor country, the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, hold direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the White House chief to achieve a ceasefire. Politico reported this on 20 October.
According to the outlet, the three-way summit proposal was announced at a press conference after the talks between Zelensky and Vitkoff in Oslo. Such a meeting would be the first in this format since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
That on 21 October Vitkoff will present to Putin the results of the agreements reached in Oslo was also recounted by both Zelensky and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre at the press conference following the talks.
Zelensky said that questions about the future of Ukrainian territories should be discussed by leaders, and that any peaceful settlement requires genuine security guarantees. He added that an agreement would be acceptable only if Ukraine takes part in its drafting.
The outlet reminded readers that previous attempts to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Putin and Zelensky have not succeeded. Recently the Kremlin insisted that such a meeting could only take place in Moscow, the media outlet noted.
