Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is heading to Oslo for discussions involving US representatives and Nordic leaders as tensions between Washington and Kyiv mount. US envoy Steve Witkoff has also arrived in the Norwegian capital for Tuesday's talks with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, according to a Norwegian government statement cited by Bloomberg.

The meeting brings together representatives from Ukraine, the United States, Norway and Finland. Witkoff will participate in person, while another US envoy, Jared Kushner, is scheduled to join the discussions remotely, the Norwegian government statement said.
