Florida is about to host some serious diplomatic action today. Word is that U.S. Special Envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner are sitting down with Oleksandr Umarov—Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council Secretary. This marks the second round of talks as Washington doubles down on pushing peace negotiations forward between the U.S. and Ukraine. The stakes? High. These backdoor conversations could reshape how the conflict moves forward, and markets are always watching when geopolitical chess pieces start shifting. Whether this leads to breakthroughs or just more posturing remains to be seen, but the mere fact that these heavy hitters are convening signals something's brewing on the diplomatic front.
