Supporters of Ukraine and European leaders see the Oslo talks as leverage-building: by binding Witkoff to a united front, they aim to deny Moscow room to split the coalition or trade concessions bilaterally.

Supporters of Russia argue that the Oslo talks ignore the cultural and historical ties binding Russian-speaking communities to Russia, and they maintain that any settlement must recognize those identities rather than impose a single external vision.
