As Middle Eastern oil flows resume, India has cut purchases of higher-priced Russian crude.

Axios, citing US and Ukrainian officials, reported US Middle East special envoys Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet on Friday in Miami with Ukrainian and European officials to present a new plan to break the Russia-Ukraine stalemate. The proposal reportedly includes a partial ceasefire to halt strikes on energy infrastructure and grain shipments. Ukraine has said it will consider the plan; Russia has so far been negative. Witkoff and Kushner briefed Trump on Thursday; talks will also cover Ukrainian security guarantees and postwar economic plans. Sources said the pair may travel to Moscow later this month to consult with Putin.
