Recent US diplomatic efforts, including visits by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv in early September 2026, produced an agreement to resume trilateral negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, possibly this autumn. Russia accepted a temporary pause in strikes on Kyiv to facilitate the meetings but rejected Ukrainian proposals for a broader air truce or frontline ceasefire. Moscow continues to demand Ukrainian withdrawal from remaining Donbas areas and other territorial concessions, while Kyiv seeks security guarantees against future aggression. These developments, alongside intensified strikes on both sides and stalled talks since February, shape trader views on the timing and feasibility of any formal ceasefire agreement amid persistent gaps in positions.
