Ukraine War

Today in Ukraine War· Nov 12

Russia is pursuing dual-track leverage: direct talks with the US on Ukraine settlement terms while simultaneously deepening Gulf engagement to sustain energy revenues and regional influence against Western sanctions. Kushner and Witkoff's Moscow visit signals a shift toward negotiation; if talks produce concrete momentum toward settlement, markets reduce safe-haven positioning and volatility hedges. Russia's systematic destruction of Ukraine's power grid is pushing electrical capacity to critical levels as winter sets in, tightening global grain and metals supply while raising heating costs across Europe and threatening Ukrainian industrial output. Settlement talks ease commodity volatility and reduce defense spending. Continued grid destruction sustains elevated energy prices across Europe and deepens supply constraints.

Military operations, weapons development, and strategic initiatives by Ukraine and its allies in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
