Story summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on October 20, 2026, after a meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff in Oslo, Norway, that the United States has resumed providing critical intelligence to help Ukraine defend against Russian missile strikes. This comes after a brief pause that had raised tensions between the two countries. Zelensky expressed gratitude for the renewed cooperation, stating it would save lives by allowing early warnings of incoming ballistic missiles.

The meeting in Oslo also addressed broader peace proposals aimed at Russia, with plans for Witkoff to present these to Russian officials in St Petersburg on October 21, 2026. Despite this progress, relations between Ukraine and the US remain strained due to recent disputes over intelligence sharing and military aid delays. President Donald Trump stated that "the U.S. has given a lot" to Ukraine but received nothing in return.

During his visit to Norway, Zelensky also met with leaders from Finland and other European partners to discuss both immediate defense needs and long-term peace proposals, including potential EU membership for Ukraine post-conflict.

In Alaska, federal prosecutors are investigating whether aides to Democratic challenger Mary Peltola helped to recruit a retired schoolteacher, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr, to run because his name is similar to the Republican incumbent, Senator Dan S. Sullivan. The closely contested race is seen as crucial to Democrats’ hopes of taking the Senate in the Nov 3 vote.
