Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is arriving in Oslo on Tuesday ‌for talks on the war in Ukraine and European security, the Norwegian government and co-host Finland said.

Reuters reported on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve ⁠Witkoff will travel to Norway this week for a round of negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine, and that Zelenskiy and European representatives were expected to attend.

"President Zelenskiy has asked Norway and Finland to arrange a meeting as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, at a critical ‌time ⁠for Ukraine," Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said in a statement.

Finland's President Alexander Stubb said he will attend meetings with Zelenskiy and ⁠Stoere to discuss "Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine and the overall security situation in Europe."

⁠Zelenskiy, Stubb and Stoere will hold a press conference later on Tuesday, Norway said.

The ⁠statements from Norway and Finland made no mention of any U.S. or European delegations.
