We provide what many… Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he is thankful to the US as intelligence on Russian missile strikes "works now," after talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Oslo.
Zelenskyy had previously said that Washington had temporarily paused some intelligence sharing with Kyiv before resuming it.
"We are thankful that intelligence works....
I'm speaking about early warning, what is very important for our people, for children, adults, civilians, because we can hear when ballistic [missiles are] coming," Zelenskyy told reporters in Oslo after the talks, which were hosted by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently visiting India, said on October 20 that he had a long conversation with Zelenskyy and rejected any suggestion of a “deliberate political directive to harm Ukraine." "There's nothing being deliberately denied to Ukraine," Rubio said, adding that reports that the US was not giving Ukraine early warning of Russian ballistic missile attacks were "scandalous." Ahead of his visit to Oslo, Zelenskyy said he had a "substantive" conversation and a "constructive" discussion with Rubio.
The Ukrainian president said they had discussed several issues, including ballistic missile interceptors, early warning systems for Russian ballistic missile attacks, and the situation regarding Starlink and Starshield satellite communications systems.
"I am grateful for his readiness to help and his clear position," Zelenskyy said in a post on X on October 20.
After the Oslo talks, Store said Witkoff was headed to Russia on October 21 to meet with the country's leadership and "exchange ideas" from today's meeting.
A US official confirmed to RFE/RL that “peace envoy Witkoff will be traveling to Russia on Wednesday to advance peace negotiations.” Finnish President Stubb said the Oslo talks produced “genuine progress” on both the long-term outlook and more immediate issues.
He said the participants had identified “some elements of peace” on the bigger picture, along with key points on security and the economy.
