Zelensky Accuses US of Delaying Missile Deliveries Ahead of Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet with US envoys in Norway on Tuesday, following accusations that the United States is intentionally delaying the delivery of interceptor missiles to Ukraine.

The talks will involve US officials Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the latter participating remotely, alongside Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store emphasized the importance of diplomatic efforts in addressing the ongoing conflict.

Zelensky expressed concerns about the lack of early warning regarding Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities and stated that several European nations are prepared to transfer Patriot missiles but are awaiting US approval. He also mentioned that the Pentagon is delaying the shipment of missiles already paid for by European countries.
