Oslo Talks Resume as Sachs Proposes Neutrality Deal and Witkoff Secures Putin's Nod
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff secured a preliminary agreement from Vladimir Putin to resume trilateral peace talks in November, coinciding with the release of a detained American citizen. Simultaneously, President Volodymyr Zelensky met with U.S. and European officials in Oslo to discuss formulas for ending the war. Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs has proposed a comprehensive settlement package involving Ukrainian neutrality, EU membership, and a UN Security Council guarantee, while analysts debate whether the current diplomatic efforts will result in a durable peace or a frozen conflict.
