Summary
Oslo will host Zelensky on Tuesday with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, plus Finland's president, after Kyiv accused Washington of delaying interceptor missiles and sought to reset strained diplomacy.
Patriot interceptors already paid for by European countries are awaiting US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's approval, Zelensky told senators, while he also pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to restore Starshield access.
Washington denied changing intelligence sharing, and Trump denied ordering any Starshield slowdown, but the dispute deepened after Zelensky said Ukraine got no early warning before Russian strikes on energy facilities near Kyiv.
Trump on Monday said Zelensky 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and suggested someone else negotiate for Ukraine, while floating a possible meeting with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping that Kyiv fears could sideline it.
Russian strikes killed four people across Ukraine on Tuesday as US-led peace efforts have stalled and Axios reported Witkoff could travel from Oslo to Russia for talks with Putin.
