President Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kiev for their first visit since Russia's full-scale invasion, after meeting President Putin in Moscow. They met President Zelensky at Saint Sophia Cathedral, near the site of a Russian attack on Ukraine's security services. Zelensky said he was ready to talk but insisted on security guarantees and a dignified post-war peace. Meanwhile, Jaguar Land Rover is expected to announce up to 4,000 job cuts in Britain as part of global restructuring, mostly management and back office roles, with hopes of voluntary redundancy. The company faces rising costs, supply chain issues, and a slowdown in sales, as well as tariffs and a cyber attack.
Voters in Germany are voting in a regional election in Saxony-Anhalt where the hard-right AfD could win state-level power for the first time.

Its leader Ulrich Siegmann is popular among supporters but the party is classified as right-wing extremist by domestic intelligence. Iran's Revolutionary Guard says its Navy attacked a US sea drone in the Strait of Hormuz, following US strikes on three Iranian oil tankers, which were a response to Iranian ballistic missiles towards American ships.
Flights from Indonesia's main international airport in Jakarta have been suspended due to volcanic activity from Mount Anak Krakatau, which began erupting on Friday and has closed six airports, stranding tens of thousands of passengers. The health minister urged people to stay indoors and wear masks. Boxer Katie Taylor ended her career as a three-time undisputed world champion with a final win at Croke Park, beating Flora Pilly on points in front of 80,000 fans, adding the vacant WBC belt to her light welterweight titles.
