Caption: US Envoy Meets Putin After 'Positive' Talks With Zelensky. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived in Saint Petersburg for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, following meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Witkoff's talks with Zelensky in Oslo as "positive", amid efforts to ease tensions between Washington and Kyiv. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is also expected to join Wednesday's meeting between Witkoff and Putin virtually. Zelensky thanked Washington for resuming intelligence sharing on Russian strikes, saying early warnings of ballistic missile attacks were "very, very important”. Relations between Trump and Zelensky have deteriorated in recent weeks amid disagreements over Russia's war in Ukraine and Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Trump renewed calls for Zelensky to "make a deal" with Russia as Moscow intensified its attacks on Ukraine ahead of winter. Zelensky has accused Washington of delaying deliveries of interceptor missiles already paid for by European countries, with some shipments reportedly awaiting U.S. approval. The Ukrainian president insisted Kyiv must participate in any negotiations over its future, saying Ukraine must be "at the table" for decisions concerning the country.
