U.S. envoys in Moscow in new push for peace between Russia and Ukraine

“U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow to revive stalled peace talks amid escalating air attacks between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pledged a temporary halt to airstrikes during the visit, but Moscow has yet to respond publicly. The U.S. effort, now in its fifth year, faces challenges as attention shifts to the Iran conflict and the economic fallout from sanctions and energy market volatility. Expert Analysis: The envoys’ presence signals a strategic recalibration of U.S. foreign policy, potentially easing geopolitical tensions that drive oil prices and disrupt global supply chains. A successful diplomatic breakthrough could stabilize energy markets, reduce inflationary pressures, and lower defense spending for U.S. consumers and businesses.”
