  "account": "Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov claimed that Ukraine had extended a ceasefire proposal to Russia during the U.S. delegation's visit to Moscow and Kyiv, but received no response. The suggestion was conveyed directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin and called for a temporary suspension of airstrikes and fighting along the front lines. However, Ukrainian drone strikes continued, as evidenced by reports of casualties in Kamianske, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Poltava, and Odesa. Despite a brief suspension of long-range strikes on Russia, aimed at maintaining the \"normal functioning of Russian airspace,\" Russia continued its aggression against Ukraine. U.S. presidential special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were set to visit Ukraine on September 6, following a trip to Russia on September 5. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the envoys' itinerary, while Ukrainian Defense Forces were ordered to temporarily halt firing along the contact line between September 5 and 8. The initiative was reportedly initiated by Ukraine. Although the U.S. side was expected to separately discuss the proposal with Russia, concerns were raised about the safety of Witkoff and Kushner during their visit to Ukraine. Russia had already dismissed the possibility of a ceasefire, continuing its attacks on Ukrainian territory.",
