Former real‑estate magnate Steve Witkoff and former White House adviser Jared Kushner are set to embark on a high‑stakes diplomatic mission, heading to both Ukraine and Russia this weekend in an effort to revive stalled peace talks. Their trip, organized by a coalition of private‑sector and former‑government figures, aims to open back‑channel communications between Kyiv and Moscow after months of dead‑locked negotiations. Observers note that Kushner’s previous experience in Middle‑East diplomacy and Witkoff’s extensive contacts in the region could lend the effort a unique blend of political savvy and business leverage. The initiative comes amid growing international pressure to find a resolution to the conflict, and both men say they hope to lay the groundwork for a cease‑fire and a broader settlement before the upcoming winter season.
