Putin won't give Trump anything before the midterms | News in Depth

Did the Oslo talks produce any real breakthrough? Following the meetings in Norway, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to meet Vladimir Putin. Russia has declared its readiness for negotiations, but only at the technical level.

In World Talks, Marcin Zaborowski, Europe Editor at TVP World, argued that such a declaration is far from a breakthrough. In his view, it is little more than a diplomatic maneuver, especially given that no meaningful negotiations are likely to take place before the U.S. midterm elections. According to Zaborowski, a genuine signal of Russian willingness to negotiate would be a commitment to talks at a higher political level. Such talks, he noted, could potentially take place in the format of a Putin–Xi–Trump summit.

In other words, the Oslo meetings helped sustain diplomatic momentum and keep communication channels open. But, as Zaborowski emphasized, there is still little evidence that Russia is genuinely interested in ending the war.
