President Donald J. Trump's Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Kyiv, where they met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other senior Ukrainian officials to discuss efforts to end the war with Russia. The meeting follows more than three hours of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday. The White House described those discussions as substantive, saying the sides addressed concrete plans for the next steps toward ending the conflict. The visit marks Witkoff and Kushner's first official trip to Ukraine in their roles as U.S. negotiators.

President Donald J. Trump said today that Ukraine should stop striking Russian oil refineries and diesel infrastructure, arguing that the attacks are contributing to a global diesel shortage. He specifically told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop targeting Russia’s diesel supply, while saying the resulting fuel shortage is pushing U.S. diesel prices above $6 a gallon. Russia has restricted diesel exports while Ukrainian strikes have taken Russian refining capacity offline. At the same time, the war in the Middle East has disrupted oil exports from the Gulf, while the Strait of Hormuz disruption has sharply reduced the availability of Middle Eastern refined fuels. Global refining capacity is also running with limited spare capacity. The result is competition for a shrinking pool of diesel. Europe is pulling more supplies from the U.S. and other alternative suppliers as Russian and Middle Eastern exports decline, while U.S. diesel inventories are unusually low heading into the fall and winter demand period. EIA says global distillate production is expected to remain below last year's levels in the coming months.
