Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Oslo to meet a US delegation including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. While the meeting aims to repair the relationship between the Ukrainian president and Donald Trump, Education Minister Tonje Melby stated that the nation has a special responsibility regarding the war in Ukraine. Security is tight enough that the civil aviation authority has closed the airspace over the capital and Romerike.
At home, the government is considering a proposal to let data centers build their own gas power plants to meet energy demands. It would be a shift in infrastructure policy, though perhaps less surprising than the state of the health service: around 100 psychiatric patients remain in custody more than four years past their planned discharge dates, while vaccination rates among medical staff have fallen well below national targets.
In Oslo, a group robbed a family after gaining entry to their home disguised as food delivery drivers. In the property market, a villa in Frogner changed hands between sisters for 90 million kroner, while a less prestigious apartment elsewhere has been declared impossible to sell after sitting on the market since May.
