· World · Axios, BBC News, Bloomberg
President Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Moscow and Kyiv this weekend for talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, according to US officials. The trip marks the first visit by US negotiators to both Russian and Ukrainian capitals as part of the Trump administration's renewed push to broker a ceasefire. Witkoff and Kushner have served as key intermediaries in earlier rounds of US-mediated discussions with Moscow. The itinerary and specific meetings on the ground were not detailed in the announcement. No immediate response from the Kremlin or Ukraine's government was reported.
Why it matters
A direct US envoy mission to both Moscow and Kyiv signals a fresh diplomatic push by the Trump administration that could shape the trajectory of the Ukraine-Russia war and broader transatlantic security, with implications for European allies and global energy markets that affect India's trade and crude oil pricing.
