- Steve Witkoff is traveling to Oslo for Tuesday talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, confirmed by a U.S. official.
- The Oslo meeting brings together Ukraine, European allies, and the U.S. to develop a peace proposal for presentation to Russia.
- Witkoff plans a follow-up trip to Russia as part of the peace talks effort, per the report's headline.
- Cross-coverage from BBC notes Rubio denied the U.S. is withholding intelligence from Ukraine — an angle the peace-talks framing downplays.
Why it matters: The Oslo format puts European allies in the room as a U.S.-led peace proposal is shaped, and Witkoff's planned Russia trip keeps Moscow engaged. But the BBC-cited Rubio denial on intelligence withholding makes the intelligence question part of the diplomatic backdrop as Washington pushes its peace framework.
