Putin thanks Trump, releases the American

According to Russian agencies, Putin thanked US President Donald Trump for his efforts to resolve the conflict and declared that Russia is interested in restoring economic ties with the United States.

Putin also said that his country could supply larger amounts of fertilizers to Russia. He also announced that United States citizen Stephah Hubbard is already at the Pulkovo airport. Yesterday, Trump announced that he had asked Putin to release Hubbard. The American was detained in Russia in 2022 and accused of participating in fighting on the side of Ukraine as a mercenary. He was sentenced to almost seven years in a penal colony.

Witkoff from St. Petersburg will fly again from Oslo

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere announced that after the meeting in St. Petersburg, Witkoff will fly to Oslo again.

We expect feedback. I think we have already entered a phase in which the Russians are also starting to look for possible diplomatic solutions, Stoere said in a morning interview with NRK.

Zelensky's position

Zelensky announced at a press conference on Tuesday evening that the main topic of arrangements before Witkoff's meeting with Putin were security guarantees for Ukraine after the end of the war and its future relations with NATO. According to Finnish President Stubb, elements of a future peace agreement have been worked out, which Witkoff will present to Putin.

The Ukrainian president also proposed a trilateral meeting of the leaders of Ukraine, the US and Russia, during which the most controversial issues regarding the future agreement would be resolved.
