АНУ-ын тусгай элч Стив Виткофф Украйны дайныг зогсоох болон ОХУ-д хоригдож буй Америкийн иргэнийг суллах асуудлаар В.Путинтэй уулзахаар Санкт-Петербург хотноо ирлээ.
Стив Виткофф өмнө нь мягмар гарагт Норвегийн Осло хотноо Украйны Ерөнхийлөгч Володимир Зеленскийтэй “бүтээлч” яриа хэлэлцээ хийсэн гэж АНУ-ын албаны эх сурвалж мэдээлэв. Энэхүү уулзалтад Норвеги, Финландын удирдагчид болон НАТО-гийн төлөөлөгчид оролцож, Украйны аюулгүй байдлын баталгаа, дайны дараах эдийн засгийн төлөвлөгөө болон Европын аюулгүй байдлын тогтолцоог хэлэлцсэн байна. Талууд ОХУ-тай харилцах асуудлаар уялдуулан зохицуулсан арга барил боловсруулахад “бодитой ахиц” гаргасан гэж үзэж байгаа аж.
В.Зеленскийн хувьд АНУ-ын засаг захиргаатай харилцаагаа сайжруулах зорилгоор Ослод хүрэлцэн ирсэн бөгөөд АНУ-ын Төрийн нарийн бичгийн дарга Марко Рубиотой утсаар ярихдаа ОХУ-ын пуужингийн довтолгооны талаарх анхааруулгыг дахин хүлээн авч эхэлснээ мэдэгдлээ. Тэрээр Patriot зенит пуужингийн систем болон дронуудад суурилуулсан Starlink хиймэл дагуулын системийн ажиллагааны талаар ярилцсан байна.
АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Доналд Трамп Украйныг дайныг зогсоох хэлэлцээр хийхийг уриалж, ОХУ-ын тал энхийн гэрээ байгуулахад бэлэн байж болзошгүйг дурдсан юм. Гэвч ОХУ-ын арми Украйны эрчим хүчний сүлжээнд цохилт өгсөөр байгаа бөгөөд өмнө нь зарласан “эрчим хүчний гал зогсоох” санаачилга бодит байдал дээр хэрэгжээгүй байна.
Стив Виткоффын ОХУ-д хийж буй айлчлалд түүнтэй хамт явах байсан Жаред Кушнер ханиад хүрсний улмаас оролцож чадаагүй байна. Виткоффын айлчлалын гол зорилго нь талуудын хооронд шууд болон олон талт хэлэлцээний замыг нээхэд чиглэж байгааг албаны эх сурвалж онцоллоо.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg on Wednesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin for talks on ending the war in Ukraine and the possible release of an American imprisoned in Russia.
Witkoff, who has engaged in a frenzy of shuttle diplomacy on both the wars in Ukraine and Iran in recent months, was met by Putin’s investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev at Pulkovo International Airport. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is also involved in Ukraine peace negotiations, did not join Witkoff for the latest Russia visit after falling sick with the flu.
Earlier, a U.S. official told Reuters that Witkoff held “constructive” talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting in Oslo, Norway, on Tuesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity,said Ukraine brought forward new ideas and proposals to the talks in Oslo, which also involved the leaders of Norway and Finland, as well as European and NATO representatives, and that participants made “meaningful progress” toward a coordinated approach to engagingRussia.
Those talks were said to have covered “key elements of a comprehensive peace framework,” including security guarantees for Ukraine, a post-war economic plan and a broader European security architecture.
Witkoff would aim to “create a pathway toward direct trilateral and broader multilateral negotiations,” the U.S. official said.
Zelensky traveled to Oslo in hopes of mending ties with the Trump administration, which have once again hit rocky waters in recent weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for soaring diesel costsin the United States, though analysts say the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran is the main cause of high energy prices globally.
Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine earlier this month, which neither side said they had agreed to beforehand. That apparent pause in strikes collapsed immediately as the Russian army continued its attacks against Ukraine’s power grid.
Ukraine had accused the United States in recent days of withholding critical military support and intelligence amid the renewed attacks on Russian refineries.
However, Zelensky told a news conference after the Oslo meeting and an earlier phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Ukraine was again receiving early warnings ofRussian missile attacks.
“Now it works, it’s great,” he said, adding he and Rubio had discussed supplies of Patriot missile interceptors, as well as the satellite-based Starlink system, which Kyiv said had stopped working when mounted on fast-moving objects such as drones.
Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said that the Oslo meeting had been constructive. Finnish President Alexander Stubb said he believed Ukraine peace talks were “back on track.”
On Tuesday, Trump called on Ukraine to make a deal to settle the war and claimed Putin was interested in signing a peace agreement. “Ukraine has to want to settle this war,” he told reporters.
Trump suggested Russia had the upper hand on the battlefield since “Russiais a big machine — they just keep grinding forward, and that’s what they’ve done. They’ve taken a very large piece of land.”
