Details: Støre said Ukraine had requested that Trump's special peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner join the meetings in Oslo on efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

They will therefore join talks involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Støre said he was pleased that they were able to participate, noting that diplomatic efforts had previously taken place in several countries and that Norway and Finland welcomed the opportunity to continue this work. He added that the aim was to put the diplomatic efforts on a more constructive track.

Background:

• Witkoff is expected to travel to Oslo, while Kushner will take part in the talks remotely. Media reports earlier said that Trump's son-in-law had fallen ill.
• The Norwegian government also announced that Zelenskyy will visit Norway on Thursday 20 October.
