Context
In Oslo, Norway, talks between the United States and Ukraine that were intended to bring an end to the hostilities and peace negotiations closer concluded on October 20. Official Kyiv was represented by Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while the partner country was represented by U.S. President's special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Particular attention during the talks was devoted to future security guarantees for Ukraine. The American side has already confirmed its readiness to work on the relevant mechanisms.
