Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to travel to Oslo on Tuesday to meet US special envoy Steve Witkoff, as relations between Kyiv and Washington have become strained, the Sowetan reports. The meeting is expected to address relations between the two countries, amid US President Donald Trump’s declared rapprochement with Moscow.
Trump recently criticised Zelensky and said that, in his view, Russia had acted well in Ukraine. Kyiv says Washington did not warn it in advance about recent Russian missile strikes and restricted some SpaceX satellite connections used to guide Ukrainian drones. On 20 October, Trump said Ukraine should change its leader, a statement that heightened tensions on the eve of the meeting. Zelensky’s fears of the United States abandoning Ukraine in favour of Moscow had already been reported on 18 October.
