Zelensky says US intelligence sharing 'works now' after talks with Trump envoy in Oslo

Watch: Zelensky says US military intelligence sharing "works now"

US special envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived in Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin after Ukraine's leader said American intelligence sharing about deadly Russian strikes "works now".

Kyiv had accused the US of recently withholding such intelligence, causing Ukrainians to lose their lives - a claim rejected as "scandalous" by Washington.

Volodymyr Zelensky was speaking after meeting Witkoff in Oslo on Tuesday for talks later described as "constructive" by a US official.

The Ukrainian president and his European allies said it was now up to Russia to respond to the proposals agreed in Oslo when Witkoff meets Putin in St Petersburg on Wednesday to discuss measures to end the war.

Putin is yet to publicly comment on the latest developments, but Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said the Kremlin will listen to what Witkoff offers while rulings out "any political concessions".

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who also took part in the talks in Oslo alongside the Norwegian prime minister, said "genuine progress" had been made on proposals to achieve peace but gave no details, and warned that patience would be needed.
